Back in the day we signed Gordon Hobson from Lincoln. He did ok, but not as good as we had hoped.


Yeah he was terrible wasn’t he? He finished top scorer in his one season with us and Southampton paid four times what we paid to sign him 🤔

JL was signed from Bury, or his last club before joining us was Bury.

What about the other way round....Palmer, Arnold, Hearn


Sounds like a firm of engineering consultants.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

He was a brilliant player Hobson. I know what you mean though - I always felt he was not quite as good as he ought to be - just that little something was missing when if he could have found it he would have been a Town legend.

Having said that it is very harsh on a great player like Gordon Hobson when you consider what dross we have been served in the last 15-20 years.

So we signed him from Lincoln and then Lincoln signed him back?  I seem to remember the Town v Lincoln game during the season we had Birtles that Hobson played for Lincoln in defense.....I think.

We signed Hobson from Lincoln then he went to Southampton in the top division so not a bad player, even though he walked out on us to go to Southampton,

Rod Fletcher was one of a few players that played for us Lincoln and Scunthorpe and he was only part time he had a job as a school teacher,

AND

We paid £20,000 for him which was a lot of money in the day.

He couldn’t even get into the tranmere side in the conference regularly so is this the kind of player we should be looking at ?
