He is right though. Rovers were alerted to Hardakers availability and potential whilst he was scoring trys for fun for Fev reserves as a 16 year old amateur. Nobody even bothered going to see or speak to him.

Hull had him hours away from signing before pillow talk between Kath and Gary got in the way and Leeds stepped in to sign him.

Kid had a lucky escape then. agar would have coached any talent he has out of him

That's a big claim to make mate given Keith Seniors career, but I do think Hardaker will turn out to be a top player.

Nothing to do with the new coaching regime and I sincerely hope such oversights are now a thing of the past...time will tell

Hardaker was not the only one Mr M failed to net...
