Wow, didn't see that one coming - big signing for Kidsgrove in fairness, he'll be to them what Colclough is to us I suppose.

I note also that Chester have announced it before Kidsgrove, just like they did with us and Brad Jackson.

I know that sometimes even he didn't know what he was going to do next with the ball but that's a shocking move really. Good luck to him.

Another example of how our management team get the very best out of players whereas others don't. Johnston, Hulme, Harrop, Ben Harrison, Elliot Durrell etc haven't pulled up any trees since leaving us but served us very well

I'd agree with the exception of Harrison who I believe struggled following the knee injury he sustained while with us.

So did I - thought he was very Hannigan-esque, the pair of them together in their peak would have been quite something. Poor lad wasnt the same after his serious injury but he was a brilliant player.

It is a shame his career has lost its way. I hope he can bounce back.
