Didn't STFC put in a cheeky bid for Gascoigne once? When he could still play....

I'm quite sure we did.
It was a long time ago though, so my memory may be failing me!

We did genuinely try and sign Gary Lineker on loan once

Indeed, if you read his autobiography, we'd agreed a deal to sign him as a kid, were expecting him to come for training, and at then last minute Soton stepped in, which was nearer to his Orcheston home, so he went there. |

Considering the Spurs link, this might be the reality behind what I think happened. (Or similar) Although I'm still quite confident that I'm right. |

I remember it being reported on the BBC News at 9pm when he was already an established 'star'. We offered £250,000 I think We got David Peach later on, instead. |

I thought it was common knowledge? When Lineker agreed to join Grampus 8 from Spurs there was a few months gap between our season starting and theirs. Swindon (under Hoddle I think) put in a loan bid and Lineker was apparently keen to help keep match fit but either Grampus or Spurs were concerned about injury wrecking the transfer. I'm not making this up! |
