    See i personally remember being absolutely buzzing seeing it was Reid on teletext.

    May be right I. ‘Wasn’t a coup’ though cos he was out of work and that, but I was at an age when it was ‘I’ve heard of him’ <laugh>

    What a few years he gave us. From game one really with Russell’s wind assisted slow motion special getting us going.

    He was definitely a big name compared to Mick Buxton.

    He was probably the most underwhelmed I've been when we've appointed a manager. He didn't even look like a football manager.

    He looked like and sounded like we had just dragged him from his allotment

    Christ, there's some stiff competition for 'most underwhelming' though.

    Watching him on the Wrexham program you wonder how on earth he got jobs two and three divisions above.

    There's nothing he says that one of us couldn't work out.

    Hate the bloke. Genuinely. Can’t believe he was ever at SAFC.
