Transfer Rumours Summer 2020 Transfer Thread

The training ground will beat that out of him.

 

This excerpt is particularly encouraging .... " ... I ran and got a buzz from an empty stadium". Maybe that's what swayed it for us?

 

Maybe he knows we normally play in an empty stadium...

 

I was there, as Max Boyce used to say. 1958 we beat Oldham 9 - 0, as you say Shiner scored 2 and that was indeed the headline in the "Sport's Mail "

 

Getting off the train after the match and waiting outside Hammonds for it to come fresh off the press to see if you had missed anything.

 

Bill Bradbury hattrick that day. And Colin Smith too I think.

 

Remember it well. I was there on Bunkers Hill.

 

And waiting for the bloke on his bike flogging the Sports Mail down Hotham Road.

 

Sorry to spoil your thunder gtiger, but Shiner didn't join City until the '59-'60 season. The 9-0 stuffing of Oldham at B.P. was in the '57-'58 season. Bill Bradbury was top scorer (25) that season, so likely bagged a few that day ! Doug Clarke on the right wing.

 

I’d like to apologise to McCann for my earlier comment, here’s the evidence of our new attack force

 

McCann, give us a fighting chance and sign her up FFS!

 

Must be my old memory Playing tricks. I do recall Shiner's double I think was a night match. I thought it was against Oldham in that drubbing.

 

My Daughter in law was out for lunch with the lads cousin yesterday and the exact same thing was mentioned...Apparently the kid is an absolute fitness freak!!!

 

I've heard it from a couple of places now, let's home the hull city injury curse doesn't get him

 

we don’t have an injury curse - we have a flawed strategy of buying players with a bad history of injuries

 

We do yes, but we also have absolutely ****e luck when it cames to injuries as well, look at Scott this season, never injured then comes here and trips over a ****ing come holder the youth team player had just put on the floor so he could pick something else up!

 

Good engine, fitness freak is all well and good, but can he kick the ball to a team mate?

 

Soon find out !!

 

Roy Shiner played one season 1959/60 as you say. Oldham game was April or thereabout,1958 because the start of the next season I started to go and watch them.

Roy Shiner sat next to me on a bus from town and he got off outside Stan Lemans on Anlaby Rd and went in for a hair cut.

 

By all accounts yes.
