    Since you ask....

    He accidentally drinks a liquid growth formula (a form of experimental fertilizer), and expands to gigantic proportions. Two criminals then steal Digby, and sell him to a circus. Digby, however, escapes by breaking his chains, and running at will across the countryside of the United Kingdom. The boy who owns Digby, as well as the scientist who workedon the growth formula, both realize that Digby is constantly increasing in size, and will soon cause massive damage unless something is done immediately. The scientist finds out he has created a chemical that might reverse the growth formula. The British military, however, is attempting to solve the problem of the oversized sheepdog in their own way: by use of bombs and artillery

    I won't spoil the ending in case anyone hasn't seen it yet.

    Don't want to be too hard on the lad but...

    Not upto it yet on the evidence of this showing. His inexperience cost us on a few occasions tonight which put pressure on the defence. However he did show glimpses, like one shot he had, when he'd managed to take the ball away from two Derby players and have a crack at goal, straight at the keeper like, but he did well.

    Not a bad debut, but he's a long way to go yet.

    I'm guessing that something that 'wasnt Jim Dale's finest hour' isn't really worth watching. It's a bit like saying 'it wasn't Garry O'Connor's best game'...

    Agreed Archey. Felt for him a little been thrown in at the deep end but we simple have no other options. He didnt do bad like you say but he didnt look ready. But hes what... 17? A mighty big ask to go on against a team 3rd in league. Showed promise but if Perkins isnt fit for saturday it will be Addison who will start and rightfully so for me.

    I used to like his father when he played, very underrated goalkeeper was Frazer
