Does it not say anywhere in the prog? I'm not sure it is Comyn but that was the first name I thought of.

I remember a game against Chelsea (It may have been Wimbledon), sat first row of the Witton Lane Stand.Vinnie Jones told Comyn I am going to break your f*cking legs.Young Andy looked scared shitless.

Strange that I never witnessed a similar conversation between mr jones and Shaun Teale !

I didn't know we had signed him. The first I knew of him was when his name was read out for his debut against Liverpool (1-1 I think, midweek and the first home game and second game in total of the '89-'90 season). If I remember right he filled in for Paul McGrath and had a good game against Inter in the 2-0 win in 1990. He moved on to Derby, Plymouth and I think finished up at Hednesford.

Definitely Comyn - but what's he doing on the front of Thursday's programme?

As a replacement for Paul McGrath. The whisper was God was in hospital for some alcohol related treatment, which I think was confirmed in his book.

I think John Barnes turned him inside out before scoring in the 1-1 on debut.

I was going to ask the same question. I seem to remember he did fairly well whenever he played.
