Nicky Maynard hatrick for Mansfield in the first half today. Most talked about Leicester player that never was.😁

Him and Mackail -Smith ???? Something like that. Two that never arrived and took massive strides backwards after that.

Says he now mostly stays in, and can't take a walk by himself.  Sad for a "mere" 70 year old, but he obviously crammed a lot into those years.

 

A left foot that messi would be proud of! Seriously, if you didn’t see that wand in action you can’t appreciate it .... whilst living day to day as real life Ron Jeremy ......... frank had more than one wand and he scored far more with the other one! 

 

He indeed crammed lot into a lot of things .......

Ex-Barnsley FC assistant manager Tommy Wright 'took bung'
17 October 2019

Tommy Wright denies being involved in bribery as the case starts at Southwark Crown Court
The former assistant head coach of Barnsley Football Club took a bribe of £5,000 to leak commercial information about club players, a court has heard.

Tommy Wright was allegedly handed the envelope of cash during an undercover investigation by a national newspaper.

Mr Wright, 53, of Barnsley, football agent Dax Price, 47, of Sittingbourne, and Giuseppe Pagliara, 62, from Bury, all deny two counts of bribery.

It was the first day of the three men's trial at Southwark Crown Court.

The men jointly deny two counts of paying and facilitating a bribe in contravention to the Bribery Act 2000

Prosecutor Brian O'Neill QC said the three were caught up in an extensive investigation by the Daily Telegraph, which "published a number of exposes of alleged corruption in English football" in September 2016.

More stories across Yorkshire
Mr O'Neill said "the most high-profile casualty" of the work was then-England manager Sam Allardyce, who had to resign from his role.

The court heard that undercover journalist Claire Newell, using the pseudonym Claire Taylor, posed as a representative of a fake sports management company called Meiran, and contacted Mr Pagliara in May 2016 pretending to want to invest in football players in the UK.

Mr O'Neill explained, across a series of meetings, emails and texts, that Mr Pagliara, originally from Genoa in Italy, and Mr Price allegedly proposed schemes which saw them becoming players' agents, buying them and placing them at clubs.

They would maintain ownership of a player, and profit from his onward sale, which Mr O'Neill said was "all to be facilitated by bribery".

The court was told that such "third-party ownership" set-ups were banned by the English Football Association (FA) in 2009 and by Fifa, the football world-governing body, in 2015.

In August 2016, when all three defendants were present, Mr O'Neill said Mr Wright received "an envelope containing £5,000 in cash" in return for "commercial information about Barnsley FC's players".

Okazaki and Ulloa both scored once on Saturday as Huesca lost 3-2 and Vallecano won 3-0. Ulloa’s was a penalty.

Highlight videos for those two matches. Lugo were given what looked like a pretty bullshit penalty because their striker barged into Huesca's GK preventing him from distributing the ball...

edit: rewatched it a couple of times, the penalty was because a Huesca defender kicks out at the Lugo player, not for anything by the GK. Need my eyes tested because I missed it on the first few watches!

Speaking of ex players, what do we think of Chris Wood? He looks a decent competent striker but nothing spectacular. I'm happy he's found a home at Burnley FC.

Never thought he would be up to prem football but fair play to him he is looking decent enough for Burnley. I think that is his limit though and will prob drop down the leagues in a few years.

Think you sum it up fairly well; decent competent striker. 

Strong and good in the air, but not just a lump up top. He's basically the perfect striker for their style.

He was nailed on the score on Saturday though....can't believe I didn't have a punt on that!
