Pearson I'll give you, though. Not many people would have relocated from Yorkshire to Wrexham at that time. Keates seemed to roll out the red carpet for him though and doing that, to be fair to him, was one of Keates' best ideas as Wrexham manager.
Which proves it is possible. I'm sure Young had other offers bar us and Torquay, might be wrong on that but I seem to remember him being sought after at the time.
