To take your minds off the Dan James fiasco - here is a list of 35 signings that they claim are 'weird'I know these things are click bait but this is all one page (not one per signing) and shows how many mad signings we have made over the years - many of which I had forgotten Dave - https://www.planetfootball.com/quick-reads/ranking-35-of-leeds-uniteds-weirdest-signings-since-relegation-from-the-pl/
Worth it just for this takedown of Liam Dickinson Dickinson had attracted plenty of attention after scoring 35 goals in two years at Stockport County, but scouts that were sent to watch him concluded he “waddles around the pitch, he can’t fucking jump, his first touch is crap [and he] can’t head the ball”. Undeterred, Derby County spent £750,000 to sign the player. He failed to make a single appearance for the Rams, nor did he manage to score a single goal after being sent on loan to Leeds in League One. A year after leaving the club, Grayson gave his verdict on Dickinson at a fundraising event for Sherburn White Rose Under-11s: “Now, he was shit.” _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: https://mailman.gn.apc.org/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email [email protected] Find us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/leedslist/ RIP Jimmy WAC-COE
