I remember when we once signed Billy McKinlay. How times have changed.
Almost brings a tear to my eye.
Nicky Summerbee lived a couple of doors down from me, during that spell, as he had a mate from his school days who was my neighbour.17 years ago we asked players to play for free: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2002/aug/09/newsstory.sport3
The last time I got this excited about a starting line-up was when we could field Heskey and Collymore together.
It is almost like playing Championship Manager but in real life...

Billy played for free for a bit and did a good job as well.I remember when we once signed Billy McKinlay. How times have changed.
