    Today Bradford City have made an <span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana; mso-fareast-font-family: " ar-sa?="" mso-bidi-language:="" en-gb;="" mso-fareast-language:="" mso-ansi-language:="" roman?;="" new="" ?times="" mso-bidi-font-family:="" times="">audacious swoop for two time Barnsley legend Norman Rimmington. The bid is said to be somewhere in the region of £120,000 and 3 roy of the rovers comics.</span></p>

    <span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana; mso-fareast-font-family: " ar-sa?="" mso-bidi-language:="" en-gb;="" mso-fareast-language:="" mso-ansi-language:="" roman?;="" new="" ?times="" mso-bidi-font-family:="" times="">Barnsley have given the deal a straight bat and are holding out for another Roy of the Rovers comic. Barnsley Chairman Gordon Sheppard went on to say, &quot;We are not in the business of giving our experienced players to local rivals for next to nowt. Norman signed a 60 year contract in 1950 and surely Bradford must see the club has been loyal to Norman and we want compensating for that.&quot;</span></p>

    <span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana; mso-fareast-font-family: " ar-sa?="" mso-bidi-language:="" en-gb;="" mso-fareast-language:="" mso-ansi-language:="" roman?;="" new="" ?times="" mso-bidi-font-family:="" times="">It looks like Bradford are attempting to play Rimmington, 82 up front in a 3 pronged attack with other Golden Oldies Dean Windass, 36 and Steve Claridge 38. This would make them the most experienced strike force in the world.</span></p>

    As the post was ironic (yes i do know he was a goalkeeper)..

    Would Rimmo still call himself a goalkeeper now? Come on Gloucester tongue in cheek and all that!!!</p>

    I don't believe he'd call himself a footballer either.........</p>

    Well knowing Rimmo he'll still say he can play better than that lot out there!!!</p>

    I was being ironic as well!

    Think you're right though, he probably WOULD say he could do better than some of them
