Inigo 32,526 Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Mark Fish was another one just before he went from S.A. to Lazio. Mind whenever he got the ballbthe African fans would all go 'feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh'. Turning more into a 'heavily linked with' than 'nearly signed' thread.

The Widow's Son 399 Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 2 hours ago, Spectre said: I was trying to remember who it was, I remember reading about an Italian player we had on trial when he was 17/18 but we turned him down, sure it was someone that went on to have a pretty good career and reach a high level, escapes me who it was though, ring any bells with anyone? Think it was a player called Pavlov. Or perhaps Quasimodo. Those names definitely ring bells. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I came away from a game at the paedophile arena once and can mind hearing on the radio that Yakin was there being wined and dined by us. Timeline is a bit sketchy though.
