    He lives north of Skipton...he told us it took him over 2 hours to get oakwell yesterday!
    He'd never been back since he played for us.

    Just been reading up on his career after he left us. I think the West Ham move was too soon for him but he did very well at Southend, Millwall and Palace.

    He was certainly a star during his year at Oakwell and it was a great bit of scouting to get him into the club from non league. If makes you wonder how many more gems are out there just waiting for their big chance. There must be loads of Antons, Mick Butlers and the rest who could step up.

    He could have hitched a lift with the Aire Valley Reds.

    £60k to West Ham is about £360k today.

    Not in football terms. Grealish went to Manchester City for £100 million reportedly. Taking your translation, can you name any footballer who was transferred for £16 million in 1976 ?
