Great bloke him, one of the Saturday rituals was to buy a few from either him or the lady who sold near the club shop. She had a brilliant cadence and went HALF TIME DRAAAAAAWWWWEEEEEEEE.
So, what sort of signings are we expecting? For me, I reckon they'll be a combination of the following 3 categories: 1) past it, injury prone, or just obviously rubbish - eg David McGoldrick 2) insanely leftfield - eg João Paulo, leading scorer in the Kazakhstan Premier League 3) a very unexpected rabbit out of the hat - eg Macaulay Langstaff I'm expecting players mostly from pots 1 and 2
We usually pull rabbits out (if that's the right terminology) after loads of false rumours. I think we sign a left wing back loanee from the Championship. A random Scandinavian striker. A none league striker for "the development team" Benson and Lofthouse leave on loan.
I remember the old guy that used to stand in the bus station selling 'Green uns'. One day the sandwich board he stood by read 'FA cup 4th round draw' . I asked him who we'd drawn and he swiftly replied "I'm here to sell the news not tell it"...... Brilliant answer, I never forgot it.
On a similar note, I once asked a ticket agent in Pontefract bus station the cheapest way to get to York and she told me "Walking".
Right-back. Somebody mentioned the plan was for Lofthouse to go before Cotter picked up his injury, so maybe he's going.
