in 1984-85, Aldershot took a young striker at the time on loan from Millwall - Teddy Sheringham. Millwall manager George Graham had been willing to sell Sheringham to Aldershot on a permanent basis, but they couldn't raise the £5,000 fee. perhaps because "f.c" were about to go bust.
aldershot were about to go bust in 84/85? Aldershot didn't go bust for another seven years, but you always were a bit sketchy about your own club's history.
I think they couldn't raise £5000 because they were a poorly supported club, even by 4th division standards, much like now really. Av crowd of 2009 that season.
and the reading player is?
No Reading player has ever won the champions league or european cup, quite obviously because Reading haven't won either. No former Reading player has gone on to win the champions league with a club afterwards either, but you'd really need to be scraping the barrel in desperation to glean any sense of pride out of the fact that an unknown 18 year old youth player from Millwall played 6 games without scoring during a loan spell at Aldershot, and then went on to have a successful career. The less you have, the more you value that little, I guess.
But anyway, about going bust in 1985. Care to shed any light on that?
you massive loser.
