Anyone know who it is?
« on: August 07, 2008, 09:23:25 AM »

From John Laidlar's report of GH's Q and A session;
"Asked if anyone else would be joining Alty before the season started, Graham said that if anyone did it would probably mean someone else leaving. He does, however, have a well-known former league player training with Alty at the moment."

Anyone care to speculate (or know something about this?)

I think we could do with it being another defender - preferably a Centre Back

I don't know but is GH implying that he's training with us with a view to signing for us, or that he's just training with us for fitness and to rub off on the other lads a bit?

I'd say either, but by saying what he did he hasn't closed the door. Unlike the Woking manager who plays people who aren't in his plans, GH made a sensible comment leaving it open.

I'd say Challinor as well.

No idea, but perhaps the reason a name wasn't given was so that it doesn't go on the internet (whoever it might be)?

He too has some interesting stuff on the internet, that his long throw got him in a pop song, and that he's booed at Grimsby for ending the career of a Charlton player they had on loan.

One thing he isn't is boring.

As this name has been mentioned, isn't he the long throw expert?

They could cause havoc in the box.

I knew we should never have let Peter Thompson go .......  :)

If it is Challinor, who I think must be about 34 now, his throws will not be quite as long as they used to be....just the 50 yards or so these days I reckon  ;D

I've got a lovely big celtic design throw and it doesn't diminish with age.
