Incredibly old news (up there with Gray's gone) but I heard something earlier that I had either forgotten or didn't realise - how close we were to signing Steve Bull in 1995. Apparently it was all agreed between Bull and Big Ron before Bull backed out. This was 1995, so may have been that we ended up signing Whelan instead? One thing I found interesting was Bull said Wolves offered him a 3 year deal. Cov offered him the same money he would earn in three years at Wolves but over 5 years! Good to hear Ron was keeping hold of the purse strings to some degree. Probably best it didn't come off, not sure signing a 30 year old Bull on a five year deal would have been the best move. Can't imagine he would have worked well with Dion. Saying that, I'd have taken him over Simon Howarth and Kyle Lightbourne.
