I know of some players currently plying their trade above UCL level that I may be able to have a word with. Best to branch out as wide as possible when recruiting players i'd have thought.

Ill leave it to you to tap up Matt Rhead? ;)

BartonRaz has been asked to tap up Matt Rhead and Corby have another lumox frontman, namely Greg Smith, that would be surplus to requirements but he is absolutely shocking! ;)

i watched greg smith play for spalding against thrapston and i really did think he was a pub player, i couldn't believe it when i saw he's on loan there!

He was signed by Corby and was on loan at Stamford earlier in the season. He came on for a quarter of an hour against Stalybridge Celtic, and played against Rangers. He is probably the worst player I've seen at this level and your description of him as a pub player, Jon, does a disservice to Sunday morning pub players.
