Johnnyrotten Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Great shout that. Phil Stant was a really top lower division striker, would have suited us perfectly at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he'd gone to Notts county , they played us soon after and his was in the programmes player profile , and he said he had a trial with us but he wasn't wanted . He was proper gutted being a Wanderers fan as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
