I thought Grayson said he wanted to replace with someone better?

They need a reserve keeper as well due to the fact that the 2nd choice keeper has already left so Larry may still be after the 1st choice keeper.

Can anyone confirm that it was Larry May who scored the winning goal at Leyton Orient, to win us promotion to Division One in 1980?
It was the last game of the season, and there were about 11 thousand attending, and about 9thousand City fans. I remember there were quite alot of Glasgow Rangers fans there supporting us and/or the late great Jock Wallace.

In a word yes. I was at that game. The attendance was higher than officially given as some Leicester fans " liberated " one of the exit gates from its moorings I seem to recall.

Cheers for that, I almost felt embarrassed for the Orient fans, it was like there ground had been totally taken over. I remember drinking in one of the local boozers and it was a good atmosphere. A great result and a great day.

I reckon it was 81. I'd only just left school when I went.
It was 1980. We were relegated again in 1981.

You're right I just looked it up (it was May btw). I could have sworn I'd left school by then.

I do hope so, then we can concentrate on snapping up Ted Nugent and Bill Maynard in time for pre-season.

Only in the Merc. I don't suppose they propose employing actual journalists any time soon.
