    Anniversary of the day we signed Phil. Back in 1990 Mel Machin signed him for £175k with add ons of 35k if he played for England.
    By the way I haven't made the last bit up.

    He did represent England C. Did that cost us £35k?

    We should have signed him for free with £250k if he ever played for England. Might have got our money's worth that way.

    I always thought that it was £150k .
    I saw him play at the Goldstone Ground the day that Chris Eubank showed off a recently won belt .

    A nondescript 0 - 1 game . All I remember is his big hair Gordon Mcqueen style .
    Could be wrong of course , a long time ago .

    Didn't the fans at Saarfend often shout...
    Get Griddler off!, and get Rammell on!.
    Obviously, even they couldn't pronounce his name properly. :eek:
