Joe Blakeway.. she was so bad it was endearing!

I think he defected to Old Trafford.
As for the current lad, give him a break he's on our side after all. Saying "we signed him" and it's been a "great day out" is going about as far as you can without getting into trouble. He's quite clever if you think about it. One thing he could improve on is talking from the base of the belly instead of the top of the throat. If you use a PA that's basic stuff.
I'd be gutted if thats true. I thought he was quality. I remember when he used to welcome the teams out, used to introduce the opposition and then go 'and your very own, manchesterrrrrrr cityyyyyyyyyyy!' at the top of his voice, followed by a massive roar from the crowd. Proper kick started the chanting, Blue Moon would often follow from the fans (not over the speakers - I personally hate this) before Bernardo Corradi took the kick off. Boy were we shit but at least the announcer got us up for it before kick off.
