HankMarvin Posted 20 February 2016 Share Posted 20 February 2016 The future England striker was signed from Halifax Town for £1million before moving to Leicester. ‘There was a lot of interest in him but nobody wanted to make that jump,’ recalls Mellon. ‘I’ve heard some people say they were going to buy him. Well, why didn’t you? ‘I went to my chairman and told him it was worth taking a gamble on this kid. A million was a lot of money for Fleetwood but the chairman never even blinked. It was probably the best decision the two of us made because look at what the boy has gone on to do. ‘When he came in and got among us, it became clear he could go further. I actually said to his agent he could play for England. He was greyhound-quick. And when I say aggressive, he was really aggressive. ‘When people get angry they lose their focus, but he had this ability to turn anger into energy. So probably the worst thing you can do is make him angry. It’s no surprise to see what he’s done. ‘I worked with John Stones (as assistant manager) at Barnsley as well. He was the same. They have this calmness about them that nothing is going to stop them getting the most out of their ability. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3455181/Shrewsbury-Town-boss-Micky-Mellon-Charles-Darwin-unearthing-Jamie-Vardy-bid-stun-Manchester-United.html Hmmmmmmmmmmm someones telling porkies "Andy Pilley so proud of striker who repaid his £150,000 transfer fee with a 31-goal season that lifted the Lancashire side out of non-League" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(but then again that wont matter). John Hurt in full elephant man outfit to play Arsehole Wenger and Steve Walsh to be played by the invisible man ... what does he look like ?? ... does he really exist ???

Guest Posted 22 February 2016 Share Posted 22 February 2016 Idris Elba is clearly going to play Wes Morgan. I was thinking more along the lines of John Terry for Morgan. Or Emma Thompson, if she grew her hair out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
