    I thought it was £25 million we are due to fork out for him. The murky world of football finances might have confused me. Whatever the fee he's been a dreadful signing especially given our situation.

    That could well be accurate, sadly.

    Back when we were a well run club and could sign two big-name players on the same day!

    That's right - I think we drew 5 or 6 in a row around Oct/Nov when Latchford was injured. Billy Bingham reckoned we'd have won a few of those if he'd been fit. 74/5 was a strange season though - Derby champions with 53 points, Luton and Chelsea ( :)) relegated with 33. Very tight, but we had...

    Jimmy Husband.

    Carlisle, Sheff Utd and Luton - the stuff of nightmares. 2-0 up against Carlisle at home and Sheff Utd and lost 3-2, 1 up at Luton, battered them, let in two goals in 4 minutes and lost. Lost the league by 3 points :(

    The one against Chelsea? Still one of the best goals I've seen. Puskas, the Panathinaikos manager, was at that game and picked Jimmy out as one of our most dangerous players. Took them about 5 minutes to crock him. Did well at Luton after he left us - a lovely player to watch when he was in...

    Love Duncan but I don't necessarily believe all his after-dinner tales Joey :)

    Alan Waddle (cousin of Chris) scrambling on the ground in the game where he fluked the winner just minutes after Mick had a goal wrongly disallowed. Probably the only goal he scored for them.

    Don't like to bring back bad memories but that's Glenn Keeley next to Jim.

    Peter Johnson

    That's right except it was his deputy Clifford Finch who interviewed him as PJ was away in London and too busy to meet Martyn.

    Joe was in top form at that time Joey - best centre-forward in the country.

    I know he went on to play for the RS but selling Johnson was a huge mistake - especially as we were lumbered with Belfitt in return. The failure to rebuild the team around the likes of Johnson, Whittle and the likes of Gary Jones was one of the main reasons for our decline from title winners to...

    Liam Walsh's injury hoodoo struck again just 10 minutes into Swansea's first game of 2024. Tough on Liam who'd just got a run in the team after his pre-season injury kept him out for months. The local paper put it like this: "The only disappointment for the Swans was an early injury for...

    Another of our League Cup disasters. Battered them for an hour, winning 1-0, Micky Walsh misses when clean through, they equalise then finish us of with two goals in two minutes. Finished 2-3. That ability to punish teams when they were on top was why they were champions and European Cup...

    Agree - it seems like showboating to me. Having said that, anyone can miss a penalty. I remember Maradona missing one in a World Cup shoot out, Messi's missed a few, Pele missed 5 on the run late in his career. For us Alan Ball missed a few and I remember a League Cup semi at Bolton where...

    Great signing too Joey. We hadn't had a good left-footed left back for ages!
