Lowdesert 2,537 Report post Posted May 8, 2019 I’ve heard this recording before but still interesting listening. Signed on for free a promise of £8 a win £5 a loss and the signing was for life! Also, on signing guaranteed a 1st team game and he was in the 1st team for the next 15 years. Never dropped. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
