Its bizarre how we take things for granted these days. This is a cool thread for a change. I seem to remember knowing stuff.
I remember that i used to wait for the messenger to come through the door, desperate for any news. The MEN used to come up with snippets as well. I think that signings were more sporadic in those days cos of the transfer window not being there. The difference was not knowing that much about the players or if they'd been any good in the eyes of other clubs fans. There seems to be so many more players knocking around these days too, does anyone else think that?
Obviously there was a few suprises as well. This leads to the question of WTF did poor john Laidlar do with his spare time before the internet?
