New Striker....

[Claire!]

Lloyd Opara has just been signed by the Saints!

 

He was released from Swindon Town yesturday and came into sign the forms for City this afternoon.

 

He is a striker and has played for Swindon Town in the Championship!

The prospect of having signed our 117th player this season bores you?

Surely not!!

[Laz]

It must be difficult updating the player stats page, Webbo. There must be loads of played 1 scored 0 entries!

[AFF]

Oi Webbo.

 

Any chance of getting your facts straight on Rob's web-site?

 

Claire says that Lloyd played for Swindon in the Championship. You say one appearance in the League [bryco?] Cup.

 

Keep up the good work, Webbo.

Forgive my ignorance, Claire, but are Swindon not League One as opposed to Championship??

 

 

[Laz]

Surely this isn't correct!

To write an obituary for Lloyd Opara, simply e-mail either Pete or Mark.

Can this be right? He's... passed on??...

Well... couldn't do any worse, I guess!!

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

Pssst... Laz.

 

They're his Stevenage stats!!

 

 

[Laz]

I was wondering why it said Northwich Victoria as his debut! Not particuarly good though.

[AFF]

Picture the scene.

 

Steve Castle hasn't had a wink of sleep for a week. A couple of bad losses. A distant hum of the first hints of unease from the terraces. Rumours that the Supporters Club Committee have co-opted a rottweiller. The odd adverse comment on the message board....

 

Clarke [Lee not Steve] has banged in 6 but missed one or two. Migsy is struggling for form and is an injury doubt for Saturday.

 

The phone rings "Opara, here", says a voice. "Watcha K.K.," replies the manager, "you don't know how pleased I am to hear from you?." "Not K.K. I'm his brother Lloyd", the voice replies. Anyway to cut a long story short. A deal is done and Lloyd signs and commits his future to the Saints.

 

The Manager, aware of the multitude of Saintsfans thirsting for good news, suggests to the chap who used to drive the red tractor, that this is just the thing to lift the spirits and put a couple of thousand on the gate for tomorrow's City vs. Town clash. "Spread the word Eamsie", says he. "I know just the person", says the Secretary.

 

Claire rushes the news onto this board. And what happens?

 

You lot get your teeth into it.

 

 

 

 

 

[GHA EFM]

Claire!'s the new secretary now?

[Laz]

So it would seem.

[GHA EFM]

Well that's reassuring.

Going from what Hornchurch fans have said about Opara he isn't that good and has a bit of an attitude problem.

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

He'll fit in perfectly!

Welcome to the club

Not quite YA! The youngsters didn't rate him...but those of us who HAVE played footie saw he had "bundles of potential" for Ryman level. He showed himself as fast, got into good positions...just lacked confidence in front of goal while he was with us. <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
Wonder what he's like now? i can only imagine his confidence is fairly low at the mo.
