I can't imagine it would take long to read
2 chapters worth out of 19!

skimming through, highlights include:
  • Joey scouted him whilst he was at Rhyl after arranging a mid season friendly against them - he scored a hat trick against us
  • Stan Boardman was also at the game and recommended him to Tranmere, but we beat them to his signature
  • his first goal was an overhead kick in a 3-2 win at Rotherham
  • he asked for a raise after his first full season started, he was on about £500 a week at the time
  • Gary Neville took the piss out of him for carrying some lumber in the Man U testimonial for Bryan and Kevin Reeves and that spurred his career on
  • Some lucky Wrexham lass had a quickie with him behind a nightclub in town, and the coppers saw it all on CCTV
  • a Wrexham fan gave him free driving lessons as he couldnt drive - he binned him off one night for a night with a future Miss Wales
  • not long after he had a crash on Runcorn Bridge, with Dan Bennett in the back seat
  • he got a few lads from his local youth team deals at Wrexham - Joe Feeney, Frankie Lacken and Mark Duffy - who ended up at Morecambe
  • he got done over by a crazy girl who threatened to ruin his career over a rape allegation, even though it was consensual. he got arrested for it, and the club backed him through it
  • she withdrew the allegation after the last game of our promotion season
  • he loved his time at the club, the team, the commute and the town
  • money was the only reason he left, which we couldnt meet due to financial restrictions
  • very complimentary on a lot of the players at Wrexham at the time he was there, and both Flynn and Smith
  • Flynn had tapped him up before end of the season for Swansea, with the deal dependent on staying in the football league - needing to beat Hull on the final game of the season - as he celebrated the promotion, he asked a steward how swansea had got on....
