So typical of us - sometimes a player takes a while to settle then when he comes good, he's off!How good was Waddle in 87-88 ? The man in no way looked healthy, ran like he couldn’t run, had a hair cut to shame his parents and yet that season & generally he was absolutely brilliant.
A few of us were so upset he was sold that we crowded around our home phone and rang the club up. I remember saying “we are calling to discuss the Waddle transfer” and some Secretary transferred us through to some fella ! As soon as he said “hello, so and so speaking” the phone went crashing down in panic.
