Fox Talbot This is getting very rose-tinted / sugar-coated. Mick Hollis was a poor forward. He wasn't big, fast or skillful. 25 apps, 6 goals (2 pens) in a season and a half, mostly playing in a team that got relegated. Replaced by the much better Pat Earles.
Lesson - don't buy from Crewe. Lesson not heeded - we next bought Hugh Cheetham from them - 12 apps, no goals.
1. He was signed to get us promoted. It worked.
2. The whole point of this thread was that he was signed from Stockport. Not Crewe.
