who did he sign George Burley Alan Kennedy Frank Gray Eric Gates who else did he sign or was that it?
Gayle was already there as I remember him in the league cup run, not sure about Swindlehurst Berchin?
Proven experienced championship level players in their day. Gates ex international. Just what many say we are crying out for now. Mind you Gates was a cracking player with incredibly collapsible legs in the penalty box.
Very clever player, Marco missed him, I did hear at the time we were replacing him with Paul Walsh or Peter Beardsley as a feed for Marco, but it never happened
Sad to say...but,looking back now,it's the thing I remember about him the most,which is totally unfair on him. He had a mastery of being able to take both legs off the floor,whilst standing completely still, and land face down.
I cant remember where I read this but apparently he told Marco, when I get the ball all I want to see is your backside sprinting ahead of me, I will get the ball to you
Thats twice in 2 days I have been correct, on a roll here, havnt discussed this with the other half yet
