Heathrow fox 412 Posted 16 January Report Share Posted 16 January 31 minutes ago, Aus Fox said: Thanks Heathrow, I bloody loved Gary Mac, in my memory Steve Thompson replaced him, but thinking back there may have been a bit of a gap between the two. David Pleat did sign him a year later but for Luton.I don’t think he fancied him or Thompson didn’t fancy Luton.As after 5 games we swapped him for Des Linton and another up and comer.(Oakes?) With the transfer windows now,you don’t get this situation where clubs make mistakes and immediately ship out after a handful of matches.It happened quite often.

themightyfin 2,740 Posted 16 January Report Share Posted 16 January Franz Carr. Really searching my head doubting if we did sign him or not. Google confirmed! My Memory is slowly coming back, he was still rapid when he came here but never seemed to take the ball with him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Much like every other youth player circa 2004-9 I know he isn’t on here anymore but is he still alive? Edited 16 January by Ceirboy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
