The most ridiculous rumours.

John Adams told me that too :eek: :eek:

Apparently it was only when Barcelona came in for him that he turned us down

I thought it was Porto?

Hmm... possibly, i can't be @rsed to look up where he managed after England, so you may well be correct

Notts Forset bid £300k for Jae Martin ... 3 months later we gave him a free transfer

Wasnt this one actually true though? I thought Peter Taylor turned the bid down so we could keep hold of our 'prize asset'. I liked the programme notes on him from that year, where he was described as 'so fast he could catch pigeons'. Abiodum probably fitted in with that description as well.....the council should employ the both of them, would be amusing seeing them run around the high street in the old Elonex shirts trying to round up the flying rats...

I remember that one, another of Taylor's transfer masterstrokes. He rejected a fantastic bid for a bad player like Jae Martin yet he let Jonathan Hunt, Gary Poole, Tommy Mooney, Pat Scully, Keith Jones etc... go for next to nothing.

Under the mad Murph, we were going to sign Swedish hero Johnny Eckstrom from FC Malmo.

This was a player that played in the European Cup final if i remember correctly.

Another mad rumour was, we were in the process of tying up a deal for Lee Trundle!

:thump:

The Lee Trundle was "definitely" on his way to us one was the funniest and stupidest.

Narrowly beaten to it

A fairly frequent daft rumour
