He is still settling in, be better next season.
Shite offer
Yes it was the Express, £10,000 but he actually only ended up with about a grand as the tax man came knocking. In an interview he said the PFA ended up with £5k and a "player's pool" got £4k so he must have gifted it away to avoid HMRC getting it. Franny Lee had been the last man prior to Latchford to get 30+ goals in 71/72.As a kid I think I remember one of the papers .. possibly the express offering £50,000 to Bob Latchford if he gets 30 league goesls in a season. I’ve not googled it but just a faint memory.
