    There is no such thing.

    Calling the public, for whatever reason is a horrible thing to do. And 50% of his calls won't get through anyway (amazing how many folk don't answer because they don't recognise the number).

    Chuff me. That brings back memories,

    Thank you for calling club call, we have all the latest and up to date news from Oakwell

    10 minutes later, all the latest and up to date news from Oakwell will be with you shortly

    I racked a right phone bill up in the summer of 97, waiting to find out who we'd signed.

    I single handedly nearly took Halfords to the brink of bankruptcy in the early 90s.

    Oh. Thats not the number i remember.

    Every time i rang it was some out of breath woman telling me what she was wearing.

    Kept asking her if she knew who we were signing and she would just ignore me or tell me i off and say i was a very naughty boy.

    When you answer the phone you’ve got to say ‘ I’m a happy clapper and love flatbread’ or you don’t get a ticket refund

    It's the little things like this that the CEO does (both Khaled and his predecessors) that goes without any fanfare. They don't need to do it, but they do it, because they know how much of a difference it makes to one person.

    My friend took his own life a few years ago, he was 24. He was a reds fan and often went to away games with the courthouse.

    The funeral procession stopped off at Oakwell before going to the church. I'll never forget that Gautier Ganaye, Beth and others from the office, came out to clap my friend off. Such a simple, classy gesture.

    I never do it. Last time I did, it was a bloody flatbread salesman. Never again.

    Is Khaled Nigerian?
    Whoever it was that called me said if I gave him my bank details he'd ensure the money would be deposited straight away.
    Being a trusting person I obliged this Khaled and now I'm on the look out for my refund.
    As my account now shows zero it won't be hard to spot.
