    Of course, don't think he had such an impact as Bell though.

    Bell was fantastic in div 4 but the step do 3 was too much for him could not believe how good he was in the promotion season and how bad he was in the division higher

    Think he might have gone back to Halifax, great player in that promotion season. But no comparison to where ended up a year later with aylott and Parker

    We sold him to Lincoln. Record fee for them. He was banging them in for Lincoln just like he did for us, but then he broke his leg and never rediscovered that same form.

    Its a few years ago now, but when I knew him he was attending a Jobclub I ran and was he hoping to train as a Chiropodist.

    Do you know everything? If it's not conkers it's footballers from the 1970's.

    I've got two specialised subjects: conkers and Derek Bell. I've just hit it lucky today that they've both come up. What are the chances! I'll go months now without being able to answer a thing.

    Remember the pre-match warm up at Hull City in 1979 (Saturday 17 November 1979, seen as you ask). Derek Bell banging in practice shots and an unwary teenage girl selling pop and crisps from her usherette tray wandering into range. A stray exocet from Derek Bell hit the poor lass. She went crashing down and a cloud of cheese and onion flew up into the air. She was in tears. He was terribly apologetic. (We won 2-0).
