lincoln canary (& Golden Coppel) 0 Posted December 26, 2014 God this makes me rage..... He had at least 2 good years left in him with us, if it was any other manager than arrogant Roeder he''d have fulfilled them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 3,232 Posted December 26, 2014 I know we all thank Delia for Hucks but the fans had a part too with the shares which raised over 1.5 million at the time didn''t they? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FCC 75 Posted December 26, 2014 Genuine legend who really cared for the club. Loved the way he annoyed opposing fans, and the excitement you felt every time he got the ball. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spencer 1970 203 Posted December 27, 2014 My most enjoyable time of supporting the club in this millennia was when that man was part of it. A lovely chap too when I met him and had that rare, starstruck photo. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But let''s be fair here, the purchase of Huckerby had more to do with Carl Moore''s input than it did Doncaster.[/quote]John, Carl Moore provided some money (from memory just for the initial loan spell rather than the permanent deal) but ultimately you have to credit the CEO with making the overall deal, or rather both the overall deals, happen. For example, I doubt anyone would argue that the transfer fee we paid for Huckerby was one of the best pound-for-pound deals in the club''s postwar history.The £135,000 for Gary Holt (I think another Doncaste deal), the £500,000 or so for Grant Holt, the £85,000 for Martin Peters, and the pittance we paid Spurs in total for Crook, Culverhouse and Bowen spring to mind as rival candidates.
