Players we signed in their twilight years

At league one level, Rob Jones & Miguel Llera. Early 30s, I didn't even know who they were. Both became firm favourites helping us up.

Also: Steve Watson and Michael Gray.

 

Watson is a great shout. He oozed quality. I wasn't so keen on Gray.

Not the ones who blatantly just came here for a final pay day, but the ones with illustrious careers, who's best days were probably behind them, but who came and gave it everything, and did a proper job for us.

 

I can hark back to Willie Henderson, Kenny Knighton, Mick Lyons, more recently Viv Anderson.

 

Those blokes would have run through a brick wall for us, and achieved legendary status.

 

 Who else made you think, I wish we'd signed them sooner, and had them longer?

Agree with what you say bout Lyons, Willie and Anderson. Ken Knighton was only 29 when he signed.

Lyons was only 30. People talk about him being this past it veteran who we signed.

Yeah you're right, I thought he was older when he signed.
