That’s the trouble we’ve never persevered with anything.RodneyCharltonTrotta said:Watching Premier League Legends and Middlesbrough presented Junhino on the pitch on a non match day in front of a packed stand. Seem to recall Newcastle getting huge crowds for the likes of shearer and asprillia signing and it's common place in Spain when they sign someone big who'll do a few kick ups and some waving.
Is this solely the persevere of those in the North East and on the continent or have we ever done it?
Ie when Simonsen signed?
Suppose it comes down to having marquee signings which have been rare at the Valley since Di Canio I suppose...the unveiling of Roger Johnson in front of a sparsely populated lower west on a grey Tuesday afternoon as he managed 3 kick ups before calling the 8 fans in attendance ****s probably doesn't have the same kudos as unveiling a world beater in front of 10,000 hopeful geordies.1 -
Far be it for me to disagree with somebody like Colin who probably knew more about Charlton than anyone but .................... I don't think the signing of Mark Reid would have been possible on that date. Back then there was a deadline for signing players which was 31st March until the end of the season hence why we had agreed a fee with chef weds for Pearson but not actually signed him.Lewis Coaches said:Colin Cameron book states
REID signed 29-4-85

Beat me to it, immediately thought of Pearsonfalconwood_1 said:Remember John Pearson being announced at half time by Jimmy Hill at the 3-3 Oxford home game years back. Can’t remember anyone else bar Di Canio on Talksport and thinking that we had become bigtime...
100 grand seemed a big fee then...0 -

I remember Jimmy Hill's words very well (re Pearson): "Not a free transfer, not a has-been". I've a feeling that Reidy must have been on board by then, because (with Pearson) there was definitely a sense that we were giving it a go the following season. Once we signed John Humphrey, I was convinced we would be contenders - I remembered him from the previous season as the one bit of quality in a terrible Wolves team. But we were under the bookies' radar, so I got nice odds on my each-way bet...falconwood_1 said:
