Notts County manager Neal Ardley is making a shock move to take much-travelled Lee Hughes on a short-term contract – and put the striker back in the National League.
Ardley is desperate to land a new forward and his surprisingly turned to Hughes, the 54-year-old hit man who is not still scoring goals but is available.
Hughes close friend George Burley was unavailable for comment when approached.
10/10 for Nottstalgia.
Although Hughes is actually still only 44.
True, a bit of poetic licence.
I read a great article about Hughes a while back in the athletic. It's behind a paywall but certainly worth a read.

Be funny if it wasn't true.
