Most players in the squad weren't originally signed ny Oliie, as a famous BBC commentator would say - "quite remarkable".
It is indeed. What we achieved in the second half of last season was mainly due to great coaching and management. Makes me think of Ossie's fantastic promotion winning side, renowned for their silky, free flowing football. Of the XI who trounced Sunderland at Wembley, only Kerslake was signed by Ossie. All the others were signed by 'Long Ball Lou' (who I loved, don't get me wrong)
