It was true. Also Chris Waddle.Didn’t we turn Kevin keegan down for being too small many years ago? Or was that just a playground urban myth?!
We were gazumped by Man City for Bell.On the subject of 'might have beens' .
In 1966, we heard JH was off to Bury to sign someone, and we all hoped / assumed that, it was Colin Bell (RIP recently). Instead, in search of goals Hill came back with Burnley reject and then playing for Bury, Ray Pointer. Pointer ran around like a headless chicken for the rest of the season and was then got rid of. Man City were top of the 2nd Division at the time.
And on the subject of mistakes, JH made plenty of blunders, as I'm sure Robins has (Vincenti, Kastaneer, that guy from Hull on loan two seasons ago, O'Brien...), which makes me slightly dispair when people declare their absolute 'trust' in Robins. Everybody makes mistakes - most on here think Sheaf and even Giles are mistakes. Fortunately for us, Robins mark 2 has made very few of them.
Yes, and Steve Highway.Didn’t we turn Kevin keegan down for being too small many years ago? Or was that just a playground urban myth?!
Nearly scored an absolute worldy for us against sunderland, think it was the game where vik scored a belter tooWas excellent in his first few games.
Shat himself at Wembley.
Pantzo.I think hes pants tbh
Also close to signing Trevor Francis before he moved to forestYes, and Steve Highway.
The one that got awayPantzo.
No thanksFuck no

Pointer, England CF was class but past his best.
Still remember his goal when we won 1-0 at Wolves. I somehow accidently ended up in the North Bank, the end he scored.
Did we have Ruud Van Nistleroy on trial tooIt was true. Also Chris Waddle.
Yes, apparently so.Did we have Ruud Van Nistleroy on trial too
Id rather keep lati. And that’s saying somethingcontract expires next month, worth getting on a free?
I remember collapsing to my seat in shock and pure anger and the relief when it was chalked off thought the luck was on our side and was our yearDidnt we try and sign Panzo before he went to Nottingham Forrest?? Seem to recall it was another player we spent a long time chasing publicly and then once we got them, turned out not to be the best.
The play off final mistake still gives me nightmares despite it being chalked off
We also went to look at David Platt when he was at Crewe, and bought Peter Billing instead!Also close to signing Trevor Francis before he moved to forest
On the flip side, we went to look at Anthony Gerrard & ended up with Scott Dann & Danny Fox.We also went to look at David Platt when he was at Crewe, and bought Peter Billing instead!
And it was a toss up between buying Niall Quinn or Kevin Drinkell back in the day apparently.
Oh well, some you win, and some you lose
If we'd initially got him on a permanent it could have been very different I think.Didnt we try and sign Panzo before he went to Nottingham Forrest?? Seem to recall it was another player we spent a long time chasing publicly and then once we got them, turned out not to be the best.

He was one of those that looked ok if he had Fadz telling him what to do through the game, but on his own, he was lost.There was obvious talent there but some huge deficiencies that needed coaching. I feel like we would have been the type of club to get the best from him but as a loanee it's never the same dynamic.
Really? I know he studied at Warwick Uni late '60's but didn't know he had a trial with us.Yes, and Steve Highway.
Yep, apparently so.Really? I know he studied at Warwick Uni late '60's but didn't know he had a trial with us.
He could play ok but at some point in a game always seemed to make a mistake .I thought Panto was alright to be honest. Doyle kept him out of the team, and was clearly short of match practice by Wembley that season.

His problem was he could never spot a striker that was behind him!I thought Panto was alright to be honest. Doyle kept him out of the team, and was clearly short of match practice by Wembley that season.
