I remember at the time there was nothing between Bugsy and Shaggy,it could have been Bugsy who enjoyed that glory period with us,he went on to have a fine career with Coventry.

He looked like a great prospect when he first broke through. I remember a Middlesborough supporting mate seeing him play for us at their place and he was convinced he would play for England. He just seemed to slowly deteriorate/not kick on and was never able to nail down a permanent position in the first team. Can't remember if he had injury problems or anything going on off the field that may have affected him. He didn't have a bad career, he left us for Man City and then Burnley after that, I think. He was a local lad and his closest current equivalent would be Tom Davies.

fair report that, tho' Tom Davies has a little more flair about him. The little i remember of Grant was just that he was functional.

When Grant first came through I think he was quite dynamic and always trying to get the ball forward. It seems to happen a lot with young players, they make an initial impact, then plateau, then fall away. I think part of it may be down to coaching/tactics - first team football generally seems pretty risk averse, so someone who naturally likes to get forward from midfield is told not to in case they lose possession or are caught out of position. I think this even happened with the likes of Rooney, who I never thought quite hit the heights he looked capable of at the start of his career when it looked like he could be the stand out world player of his generation.

Had his injury problems, was a little lightweight but always gave his all. Had twinkle toes on the ball and I don't recall too many bad games. He was just too lightweight for the style Royle had, with Parkinson, Ebbrell, Horne etc. Think he made a career at Burnley then injuries killed him. He was a right skinny blonde lad
