That was an old mate of mine who wrote that letter to HDM. He also sent in the photos of the 'beast of Brough', which was really poorly cut out of cardboard. Didn't stop it getting on the front page. He convinced them that Ellery Hanley was to take over the management of Ionians when they were just playing local teams. He brought Ferriby to a standstill when he claimed David Icke was appearing at Duke of Cumberland when he was enjoying his 5 minutes of 'zany' fame. Apparently they were desperate for a story, so would believe anything.
