spoke to Tony Ellis around this time in what was then, I think, The Grey Horse. Bit hazy but seem to remember him saying Blackpool had offered him a longer deal on 40 grand a year and he had his first child on the way.Definitely remember you. I was a Fighting Cock regular around then. I distinctly remember being in there being told by another north ender we'd sold Tony Ellis to the filth and I couldn't believe it (the lad with the long ginger hair in the vid by the market - name escapes me).
I used to feel I was running the gauntlet with the bouncers because I was under 18 when I first started going in and I looked far younger anyway.
@Muzza noticed how young and fresh faced you looked on the videos. Felt dead nostalgic looking back.
Highest paid player in last season's Championship was on 67k a week. Mind boggles
