At 57, and with a serious lung disorder, it would be fair to say he could be past his best, but we would be able to get him on non-contract terms for 2 pints of John Smiths and a weekly subsciption to Whippet News.
What position does he play? Sounds like a bargain.

Unfortunately that particular publication isn't available anywhere South of Yorkshire, so I think it's unlikely we'll get him. :(

South of North Yorkshire to be precise. South Yorkshire lot are practically Southerners...

West Yorkshire is where 'tis at.
