The story goes that Richards knees are not up to 2 games a week so Bruce decided not to use him at all , and instead added to the wage bill Samba who managed a grand total of 8 appearances ..which is not surprising as in the 2 years before joining us he made a grand total of 6 appearances

Chris was only ever back-up though. Might have played a bit more but I think he was grateful we took him on at all.

I was led to believe Samba was on a pay if you play deal.

Even if not, i'd rather have had him sat on the bench with both legs in plaster than Richards.

A pay as you play deal sounds far to reasonable for us to have given him ...

Samba - I'll take 10k a week
Wyness - No problem here's 20k

Isn't that a riff on the Peter Ridsdale, Seth Johnson and the aquarium story?

All I can remember of Samba is a massive clearance/kick he did in a match and his leg kind of created a sonic boom that knocked a player over. At least that's how I remember it. Cant remember the game.
