Still, I suspect not many players have been transferred from Workington to PSV !
Fair enough, i read it on a site about ex Merthyr players, although nothing on Wiki about him scoring. Crazy stuff mind, it would be interesting to find out how the move came about. I wonder if there was anyone on the PSV staff who knew Deacey. I'm trying to think of any other players who have had such a meteoric career rise in such a short space of time. Didn't Paul Lambert go from Motherwell to the champions league? I'd still put Deacey's achievement above Lamberts though, and Lambert was a player.
