    Am I correct in saying that Plymouth Argyle officially registered the late Michael Foot (a life-long Argyle fan) as a player with the Football League to mark his 90th birthday; and presented him with his official squad shirt, with "Foot; 90" on the back?

    Although he didn't actually get a game <whistle> this must make him the world's oldest ever registered player at a professional Football Club?

    We did indeed - unfortunately due to the strength of that squad he never got the opportunity to stamp his mark!

    Michael Foot.........rumour has it that he was quite a good experienced left winger.
