    Having seen ML, almost "decapitated" by Walsh and Davies at Blackpool, he was fortunate to play so long. Radio commentators thought he had sustained a broken neck during the incident !
    I'm not aware of any sacking incidents involving ML and why would it be a relevant issue ?
    Pretty sure Mick Leonard used to post on here a while back. Gawd knows what the user name was. Or maybe it was rivals.

    It was on here, and his user name was McCullochisGod. He did tell me the story of this once, and it did concern a youth player on an overseas pre-season tour. Warsop has the allegation right, and it wasn't about bullying. It ended up with the Trews settling the case just as it was about to go to tribunal. I only heard Mick Leonard's version of events, but I had no reason to disbelieve what he told me.
