Looks like it was Sims’ own decision to return to be nearer to family and friends. Playing in America could have been a great experience, but it must be horrible to be in lockdown in a foreign country away from people you know. Always liked the player...I hope something can be sorted out for him...at Saints or elsewhere.

I don’t know if this is widely known (I only found out this morning) but on the site of the old Dell, is a road named Crossley Place, in recognition of “that” penalty save. You live and you learn, as they say. As the crow flies I have been living about 300 yards from this road, for 6+ years, and didn’t have a clue that it was there, my excuse being that it is an enclosed road within a building complex.
