Danny has signed a contract until the end of the season.

He also holds an Olympic Gold Medal from Atlanta in 1996 - having been included in the squad that beat both Brazil and Argentina on their way to the title.

They must be good coz we've already got plenty of competetion especially for keeper! "Nut Nut is our keeper!"

I understand that James Pullen has gone on loan to Welling United. I doubt they will let him play next Tuesday though???

[Bridge]

Wasn't he on load from Peterborough though???

[essexboy]

mmm, good point. This guy has been on loan so many times he must be getting really hacked off.

 

I seem to remember that when he was at Ipswich he got loaned out to Blackpool and then P'boro who eventually took him.

 

At least he's bound to get some first team action at Welling - shame it will involve mostly picking the ball out of the net!

[Bridge]

I think that's the reason he's gone. He can't of been happy on the bench. Anyway good luck to him. Roll on Tuesday!!
