Think the Bowyer transfer was being reported as a double deal with Richard Rufus too? Would have been a significant upgrade on Paul Williams.

The story was we went to watch Ally McCoist at Rangers ...and came back with Kevin Drinkwell insteadAm I correct in thinking we tried to sign Steve Bull and Ally McCoist in the 90s? Was chatting to the old man about it while England were shit against Scotland the other night. Might have just been pissed though.
Phew!!!When Bobby Gould was manager his first signing looked like it would be Mick Fillery from Chelsea but he chose QPR instead.
I remember getting excited about the Franz Carr rumour via the old Teletext.Franz Carr from Forest back in the day was close to signing.
thank you! I do miss teletext, was it channel 301? Also used to be a good game called bamboozle?!I remember getting excited about the Franz Carr rumour via the old Teletext.
Great thread btw
You knowAh Teletext , Saturday night holiday watch,on the plane out of Cov airport Sunday morning,Malaga airport by 11 and divi off the co op .
Perfect.
Big Ron, thought he had pulled a master stroke by signing the Czech international Radek Bejbl before Euro 96. Apparently all was agreed, but the player wanted to wait until after the tournament to sign. He was not that well known before but ended up playing every minute of every game reaching the final. Really good player, who signed for A Madrid after the euros.
I also remember GS chasing Don Hutchinson and Niklas Alexandersson the the summer before we got relegated.
He met Atkinson and was going to sign until Big Ron told him that he’d never actually seen him play. Lennon chose to sign for Leicester as O’Neill had, several times.Believe he shook hands with Ron Atkinson on a deal.
Phew!!!
Trevor Francis was the one in my day as well.Am I correct in thinking we tried to sign Steve Bull and Ally McCoist in the 90s? Was chatting to the old man about it while England were shit against Scotland the other night. Might have just been pissed though.
Sunil Chhetri
I still think we should of signed him on a year deal for marketing aloneSunil Chhetri
You have a good memory.Think the Bowyer transfer was being reported as a double deal with Richard Rufus too? Would have been a significant upgrade on Paul Williams.
Terry WoganPavel Nedved?
The KK story is long overdue a QI style klaxon response every time it gets a mention.Not a rumour, but back in the mists of time we turned down future European footballer of the year Kevin Keegan for being too small and Chris Waddle when they had trials. Someone was seriously shit back in the day.
wasnt Earnshaw the original “spotted filling up his Bentley at the Tesco garage by The Ricoh”?
