Sheridan and Pratt when they were released by Leeds, Danny Orr, Thorman the first two times, Nick Scruton, theres been a few recently, Gidley was linked for years before he signed for Saints.

No, he turned back at a junction on the M5, but we had 2 officials at the service station near Coventry on the M6 who were waitingfor him.

When we rang his agent he knew nothing about it, and it was only when Gibbs got home that the agent could get in touch with him, and he then let us know.

This was in the days before mobile phones and a lot of coin was pumped into a payphone at those services.

Andy Dannat must have been disappointed that he didn't join us, as Woodsy needed stitches in a scrotal bite (I kid you not) when Bradford visited Boulevard at start of 86/87.

wasnt we after Jamie soward ?

joe wasterman

Cant believe 5 pages in and no one has mentioned Lee Briers........

Willie Mason would have been mint, always wanted my name on a shirt

Oops sorry mate........

No dramas

Didn't Graham Holroyd nearly sign for you when he was at Donny!!!!!

Sure I saw it in an interview in League Express,

Don't know how true it is but i heard we nearly signed the great Phil Bennet. I also remember the Andy Gregory saga. It was common knowledge...(or urban myth) that he had a job as a chef lined up at the Crest Motel.

Adam Hughes from widnes and gareth ellis when he went to Leeds

Is he a refuge collector from West Yorkshire?
If you mean Joe Westerman he is the one who got away . Aunty Kath wouldn`t up his money to keep him in our Academy.

Jason Livingston ,the disgraced sprinter was said to have been a target for Hull in the early 90's. Probably a publicity stunt like the Dwain chambers scenario.
