fredmciverslovechild Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Steve Howard and that bloody fax machine. Still, we got him in the end. And a very old one from the 1960's.....Wyn Davies. We tried to sign him from Bolton; apparently Eric Taylor arranged to meet him in a taxi with a contract to sign but (so Davies said) wouldn't reveal the terms of the contract to Davies until he'd actually signed. So he went to Newcastle instead and we went and bought John Ritchie from Stoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember him playing a blinder at Hillsbro in a pre season friendly when he played for Brondby, before Manure had even heard of him. Said to my mate at the game we should sign this kid. Sadly we didnt Edited October 11, 2016 by S36 OWL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OWL1969 Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Sure I read somewhere that in the 30's we tried to sign some Austrian Charlie Chaplin lookalike forward who was plying his trade in Germany. Turned us down as he wanted world domination, Shearer later modelled his goal salute on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickjj Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Remember Trevor Francis making a bid for Shearer when he was at Southampton, don't know if he said no or the club wouldn't sell him. Also apparently Jan Molby was all set to sign for us but Liverpool snatched him from under our nose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
