Also, isn't it weird how there doesn't seem to be any more of that moving between Alty, Vics, Macc and Runcorn. Players used to rack 2 out of 4 up but it just does not seem to occur anymore. Ok Macc are on loan to the football league and runcorn have gone but the days of moving to your rivals have gone a la Eddie Bishop, Mike Farrelly, Nigel Shaw.
Whilst we do have a couple of ex Vics, Macc players (Tinson, Munroe, Owen, Sedgemore, Little) it just doesn't seem to happen the straightforward moves, last one would've been Terry/Talbot/Greygoose.
For example, re the Farrelly+Ellis for Mountford switch. Imagine hearing tomorrow that we'd signed Michael Carr in return for Chris Senior and Warren Peyton.
Seems bizarre now.
