Re: Ex-players (the thread nobody's been waiting for) Julian Joachim has signed for Coalville Town

Apart from Dave Bassett and the odd caretaker (when I was a kid I always wondered why they put the man who cleaned the school in charge) we have had a policy of appointing "up and coming" managers since Brian Little got the job. Maybe it's time to give an experienced manager a go. Not sure if...

This has got me thinking and over the years we have had a number of ex and current players who have been to prison. The names that I thought of were, Lenny Glover, Graham Cross, Jamie Lawrence and Martin Henderson. There is also the La Manga incident, Mattocks current case and possibly DJ and...

I remember that game for several reasons the Norman Leet 25 yard own goal, the streakers and we had also dropped bombs on the Argentinians in the Falklands that day for the first time (not sure why I remember that). I was convinced it was the start of the Third World War.

Norman Leet....Captained the England U16's but was probably the worst player I have seen in a Leicester shirt in 35 years of watching them

Kerrea Gilbert has joined Peterborough on 3 month loan.

Re: Old songs we do not sing no more If I had the wings of an eagle, if I had the arse of a crow I'd fly over Nottingham Forest and s**t on the ba£78ds below

On SSN last night that David Martin was extending his deal with Liverpool, but looking for another loan move next season. Didn't say where though. Nothing on Liverpool website about this.

I went to watch Coalville Town in the FA Cup 2nd qualifying round yesterday against Stafford Rangers who are managed by Steve Bull and are three divisions higher. Coalville pulled off a giant killing and won 2-1 and " Bully" got plenty of reminders he was in Leicestershire with lots of Steve...

Just had a look at the Cheltenham website and he has started his regular column to the fans. He is offering a fan the chance to go to their next game at Millwall on the team bus, attend training, have a meal with the team and all for £500...
