Six years ago today, this guy was signed...

...and things have not been the same ever since

Happy memories galore, Holty

 

Yes, I totally agree - what a player to sign and ALL thanks to the fans who chose not to take the offered refund for us going down to League 1.
Probably the best thing that Gunn did in his time as manager.

 

I've seen him 3 times this year, always in the same place too. There's a shop in Carlisle called Bank 26 which is a designer shop, he's always in there with his bird (I would knock her hips out).

Nice guy, is he retired now?

 

What a lovely phrase

 

Must just be a Northern thing

You would though.....

 

He always said that he would finish his career at Carlisle. Hope he does.

 

I wonder if GH is still interested in us. We would never be where we are without his contribution!!

 

The Grant Holt of 3/4 years ago would be such a perfect player for us right now.
Strangely I was watching a video on YouTube of his Norwich career the other night, what a player! Legend!

 

I think he might do. I used to lifeguard at the UEA pool and he would come in with all the ones that were doing swimming rehab work and mess about after they had done their lengths, they all had a good laugh.

 

One Legend signed by another!

Holt is arguably our best signing in recent history. I'm sure you could argue Hucks and others but at 400k, how's that for value too?

 

By my reckoning, and at the prices quoted, we could have got 17.5 Grant Holts for the cost of 1 Robbie Brady...

 

We could have had 18 Kevin Phillips for the cost of 1 Jozy Altidore

 

Yeah but Jozy was a prolific goal scorer!

 

No, that is actually very true my friend. Without his one goal in 42 league games, heaven knows where we would be now

 

I'm coming up for the weekend of 14th, 15th and 16th, going to the game with cyprussyd, Jerry the Jynx and a few others! Hoping for a win but would settle for a draw!

 

It's good you and Syd have kept in touch mate, good on ya's

I'd personally be hugely disappointed with anything other than 3pts from that game

Have you got any plans for your time up here?

 

We're going for a meal at Ellis Short's favourite Indian restaurant after the game, probably meet for a few beers on Friday night and again on Sunday night. I always have a marvelous time when we meet up, they all treat me very well!

 

Nice. Ever considered coming across to watch your second-favourite team Dave?

 

Comment du jour pour moi.
Must be a distance thing?

 

You live in Watford?????

I explained on another thread a few weeks back, whenever I go to FCR, the boys always lose, whenever I watch them away from home, I have yet to see them lose! I regard myself as a Jinx at Carrow Road!
