When you look back, consider for a moment that the following players were already at the Club, either full time or on loan; Gilks, Crainey, Evatt, Baptiste, Southern, Vaughan, Adam, GTF, DJC, Ormerod and Burgess. He added Clarke then Coleman in the January window on loan. He must have thought he’d died and gone to Heaven, as his own signings were generally low grade.
Having said all that, he sprinkled stardust on them, and what followed seemed straight out of a story book. None of us will ever forget it......or him. He was right for the time, but wasn’t it fun ?
