Schmeichel's Cartwheel
Correctly predicted Italy to win Euro 2020
He never demanded to be called Andrew, he just said that his friends & family called him Andrew. He’s said he didn’t mind the media & fans calling him Andy.
Ha ha, yeah life in the pre social media/mobile phone days.We'd been playing hockey and the teacher came in and said Man Utd have just signed Andy Cole.
We were all like yehhhh right.
Back then you had to wait until you got home to check teletext!

or the MEN newspaper...which they did twice a day! A second paper released after 1600 if I remember rightHa ha, yeah life in the pre social media/mobile phone days.
We were in the 6th form common room when a mate came back from lunch at his house and told us teletext said we'd signed Cole for 7Mil. I thought he was bullshitting due to Cole being immense for Newcastle as well as thinking the price was a little undervalued (until I found out Gillespie had gone the other way).We'd been playing hockey and the teacher came in and said Man Utd have just signed Andy Cole.

Undervalued? Sutton at 5m was the record then wasn't it?We were in the 6th form common room when a mate came back from lunch at his house and told us teletext said we'd signed Cole for 7Mil.

I thought he'd have gone for 10Mil honestly. Also Gillespie was a steal at 1Mil.Undervalued? Sutton at 5m was the record then wasn't it?
And Gillespie being involved surely reduces the fee? As it was £6m and Gillespie valued at £1m

You're misremembering. His touch was great at Newcastle.I've never seen a footballer's first touch and control improve as rapidly as his did when he came. He was quite poor at it at Newcasle and when he first arrived but they soon sorted that out.
Thanks mate!
