    I guess because he also had spells at Oldham Athletic and Wigan Athletic?

    In the absense of BFRs list how about another question?

    Which Premier league club's supporters where heard singing, amusingly, "Can we play you every week?" last saturday

    derby??
  • Alex Wright
    Alex Wright Posts: 8,214
    Correct Oohaah

    In their previous match Derby were stuffed 6-0.

    Towards the end of the game last Saturday with the score at only 1-0 to Man Utd this song started wafting from the stand.

    Classic, I thought.

    Over to you Oohaah
