    He did. Brought in Kevin Bartlett, Gilligan from Lincoln for 25,000. Wimbleton, Mike Ford, Leggy and Bowen, Eckhardt, Fowler, Curtis. Plenty More as well. Very good at the cheap end. Improved players as well.

    Jimmy Scoular, without a Woodbine he was a miserable git.

    I could never really see why people thought Dave Jones was so miserable. He was a pragmatist doing a difficult job and he didn't play to the peanut gallery. I had no problem with it.

    Durban, though he didn't have a lot to smile about to be honest. As he said "..if you want entertainment go to the circus.."

    Has to be Scoular by a country mile.

    He made Alex Ferguson Look like the life and soul of any party.

    If you want proof just look at what auto correct throws up when we try and type his name, scowler !

    Phil “I’m to famous to talk to you” Neal

    Booby “I don’t sign kids autograph books” Gould

    Mick for me, really can't say I know anything more about him than before he joined.

    I know we haven't been speed dating or anything but they usually give something away, win, lose or draw he was the same, said the same stuff.

    Dont think his heart was ever in it and towards the end was actually looking for the pay off.

    Wasnt he having an affair with a very attractive wales netball player about 20 years younger than him at the time, you'd think that would have cheered him up a bit

    I'm astonished that no one's mentioned Alan Cork. Permanently stoney faced with that monotone, I literally can't ever remember him smiling. Very reminiscent of Father Stone
