Just seen a friend who's son plays for Grimsby Borough and was told that they had a nightmare coach trip back from their game in Lancashire on Saturday.

Apparently the story even made The Sun newspaper.

"Grimsby Borough's team bus was left tilting perilously close to a 45ft drop when their driver took a wrong turn down a notoriously narrow country lane.
The players and coaching staff had to ditch the bus and embark on a five mile hike back into Bacup to seek refuge in a pub instead. Renditions of the Proclaimers' '500 Miles' hit added a bit of humour to a frustrating turn of events."

When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

Loved the manager’s comment that the road taken by the bus driver was “tighter than my playing budget”, an amusing five minutes radio.

Aren't players supposed to be thrown under buses and not off them?


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.
