I remember we were linked to Gudjonsen and Jensen, but it was more wishful thinking. He joined Charlton instead for 4 million in 2000. |  | |  |

He was certainly presented in the Town shirt, so the deal must have been signed. |  | |  |

Correct me if I am wrong, Jennings agreed the move and terms but wanted an extra £500 or so. Robson took this to mean an extra 500 or whatever per week, whereas Jennings wanted a single payment to help with house moving. Robson backed out of the deal and Jennings presumably joined Arsenal. |  | |  |

That’s also my memory of the Jensen scenario. He was a very good midfielder. I don’t recall the gudjohnsen link. He was a class apart. That would have been doubly good for how much it would have pissed allardyve off. |  |

I think Jensen had a choice between us and Charlton, Bolton having accepted bids from both, but chose Charlton because his girlfriends wanted to live in London. |  |

Crook had signed, but his Norwich deal still had a few days to run so we couldn't register the transfer until then. Mike Walker then returned to Norwich & persuaded Crook to sign with them instead. I think the Budgies did pay us some small compensation. |  |

Years back, when I worked at a Special School in London, we acquired a new minibus via the Variety Club, which was presented officially, ribbon-cutting, photos, and suchlike, at a rather nice golf club in Bushey, Herts. Pat Jennings did the honours. It was a very nice golf club, and a very nice spread. All far too nice to depart for the sandy 18 holes of Suffolk. |  |

He must have got his map out eventually as he lived in Essex for years, maybe he didn't know where he was most of the time and that explains is average career. |  | |  |
