Ban actually ends in April.  Could get him on a non-contract deal until then, just to monitor his fitness (of course he can't train with the side as part of his ban) and then get him in for the final games of the season.


His birthday tomorrow! Someone should remind him only a few months left of his ban

It's either this or the 'shall we try Efete up front' shouts which I reckon we've got about 3 weeks before they're aired.


I don't believe he's allowed to use any clubs training facilities. When Boston players got banned for a few months, Jay Rollins was injured and wasn't even allowed to use the club physio for his rehab!

Last striker to come through the ranks and go on to have a decent career would have to be Gary Lund surely?..and surprisingly his brother was actually a better player who turned down Leicester and Arsenal because he "enjoyed a beer, women and night clubs" and didn't want the commitment of being a full time pro...ended up semi pro and a qualified bricklayer in Germany.

Whilst that does appear harsh, I think it has to be that way as a punishment otherwise it just gets watered down a bit.

Absolutely. As it turned out for Rollins, it was a serious injury sustained in the pre-season friendly against us; so his ban and recovery ended at a similar time.

I believe he actually used the Boston physio for his rehab privately so there are means and ways around it, especially at that level where those staff are often part-time and supplementing their income with other work.

Super Jack Lester has just spat his tea out...

Probably at the Pontoon after getting dogs abuse from them.
