Met Angus Loughran, Statto, at Royal Lytham St Anne's during the 2012 Open. Big time gambler, lovely bloke. Not bothered one bit by having a natter with two Barnsley blokes. He had an iPad with him and was constantly placing real time bets on who would make the cut, winners, but also providing online tips and real time feedback. Wish I'd taken his advice. Ernie Els at anything between 40 and 80-1, won after being six shots behind with one round to play.
He did. Some of the players, Hayward, Crooks, were also Spackman signings too. Didn't Gudjon have some sort of transfer embargo to adhere to, meaning only free transfers or out of contract players?
Can remember them all apart from Tony Gallimore. Chris Lumsdon origanally came on loan & looked a world beater & then we shelled out something in the region of £350,000 for him & after that he went downhill fast, similar happened with Betsy, although he didn"t cost us as much
Remembering Antony Kay scoring a scissor kick volley from edge of the area in a 1-1 draw at home to Wednesday that season.
"If you don't perform you're out." Hmmm...let's see. That guy from Arsenal youth who failed everywhere but you thought was a world beater. Can't even remember his name now. Dench. Yiadom being rubbish.....except in the view of two prem clubs who wanted to buy him. Bree being brilliant and Hourihane vastly over rated. Adam Armstrong, when at Coventry, being lauded by you as far better than anything we had at the club. Luke Steele being rubbish. etc, etc. Does making mistakes and paying the price for it apply to everyone?
Gallimore came from grim on sea. He'd been a regular there, same as handysides and Kevin Donovan. Donovan was a strange one. He was always brill against us but never got going for us.
