Funny thing - for some reason I can't explain, I never really felt that Hurst rated him that highly.
I don’t think they got on all that well. There was a period during our promotion season where Bogle was completely out of the squad for a number of games, and at the beginning of our first season back in the league he was behind Scott Vernon in the pecking order. It wasn’t really until he scored that hat trick against Stevenage that he became the firm first choice. I don’t really remember an ego when he was here, just a young lad who became frustrated a little too easily when things weren’t going his way. He was absolutely unplayable that half-season he had in League Two and I’m confident he’d tear the division up again now. However, I don’t think he’ll have the need to drop to this level for a good few years yet.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8BbJ3l7kL0You're right. This was the game that seemed to change him. I remember it well. We were 2-0 down at half-time and looked well beaten. They brought him off the subs bench at the start of the second half and within ten minutes we'd scored two goals, one he set up for Amond, the other he scored. He was unplayable in that half. From then on, something seemed to light up inside him and I thought he was great for us from this game onwards. (Incidentally, the kid that scored their third goal, Rhys Browne, was later signed by us off the back of his performance in this game, too, I think.)

I can't see Holloway touching him with a barge pole - regardless of wages. He undoubtedly has talent but the only place he has really excelled has been non-league. He just hasn't reached his potential and the football scrapheap is littered with players who didn't reach their potential.
He’d scored 20 goals by the end of January in his first season in league. He is more than proven at our level.

Think he did pretty well at Pompey on loan didn't he? He's had a bit of bad luck with injuries and never quite become established in a starting XI. Reckon he'd be a handful in League 1 and very, very good in League 2. Swindon could be a decent shout if Doyle doesn't go back and they feel it's worth a gamble to get them over the line.

He’s on £6,000 a week at Cardiff. Was on £15,000 at Wigan.

A blink and you missed it GTFC career moment in that video too for that little Stewart fella we took a chance on. Regards Omar...didnt fit with Hursts idea of a striker in reality, was in and out the side and if i recall correctly by the time Hurst left he was well out of sorts and favour, Bignot came in and he immediately started scoring again. Got the impression Bignot knew how to get Omar going and Hurst was at odds with him. Would Ollie have a player who spends as much time holding his head in his hands when something doesnt go right as he does working for the team ? I doubt it.

I just remembered why Hurst didn’t rate him, he wasn’t LJL.

He tore up League 2 hence he got his big move, but I'd say our wage structure maxes out at 3k for the likes of Hanson, we really couldn't go further.

Bogle started Hurst's last 12 matches and scored 9.
