Anybody know why kell isn't on the squad page on the official site?

 Or how long he has been missing from it.

 

i don't know but..........

.....great question mate.

 

Players who go out on loan lose their squad number these days I think until they return.

 

I thought it had something to do with him being on loan but Jarman, Atkinson and Scarcella are all still on the squad page with their number. They just have (on loan at...) next to their name.</p>

 

Kell's loan to Scarbrough terminated today, on teletex page 323.ff

 

Ah right, I don't know then, I hadn't seen it.

I noticed that on FM06 if you loan a player out you can give a new player his squad number... they're usually right with these things!

 

I'd not noticed that before on FM but now you metion it i remember it happening to my players. </p>

Maybe somebody accidently deleted him from their system. Richard Kell, the invisible man</p>

 

Maybe its an inverse Billy's boots situation.. Those old enough will be familiar with tiger comic and the great strip Billys Boots. Billy inherited a pair of old football boots hich when he put them on made him a world beater in the football stakes. Fortunately he also had a pair of magic cricket boots too.. so the summer was covered too.

I was wondering Phil Gridlet didn't leave a spare pair of boots hanging around the club?

 

that used to be in the Scorcher as well

<font size="2">along with something about two brothers who played for two different teams from the same town one was a forward and the other a centre half. Then there was hotshot hamish who could break the back of the net from the half way line. Plenty more when i put my mind to it</font> 

 

Are you thinking of

"Jack of United" ( blonde haired defender ala Bobby Moore ) and "Jimmy of City" ( dark haired forward ala George Best ) ?
Can't remember them at all !!!ff

 

RE: Are you thinking of

RE: Billys boots the story

First issue of Scorcher was the first outing for &quot;Billy's Boots&quot; (John Gillatt). Billy Dane went to Bingley Road school where all his friends were crazy about football. Billy was also football crazy but unfortunately he wasn't any good. Most of the other lads would not play footie with him because he couldn't &quot;play football for toffee.&quot; However, all was not lost, whilst cleaning out his Gran's attic he found an air rifle and a pair of old football boots. The football boots had once belonged to &quot;Dead Shot Keen, the old centre forward for England.&quot; Billy's granddad had bought them as a souvenir. Wearing the boots gave Billy the ability to play football like the old star. Billy's story was often fraught with difficulties which often involved Billy losing the boots i.e. the bin men have took the boots and its the cup final tomorrow. Dead Shot Keen even had an old pair of cricket boots, how lucky was that? Billy survived the frequent comic transfers from Scorcher to Tiger to Eagle to Roy of the Rovers.
