Famous U turns from players who have turned down Itfc 09:21 - Jul 30 with 7705 viewshunty21

Just for a bit of fun as my feeling is Hackney will stay at Borough who from memory has turned us down after agreeing deal.

Claus Jensen? Can't remember how far down the line that one got.

Edit. Crook did actually agree to sign. Then reneged days later.

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

Think he actually signed! We got money for him.


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

Think that was the other way around, he wanted to stay living near London and Sir Bobby didn't like the idea. Shilts turned us down around the same time as his move to Forest was already progressing.


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.

Pat Jennings was the best GK Watford have ever had!
He was possibly the best ever in England with the exception of Gordon Banks maybe.

Andy Carroll was coming on loan until he found out how far Ipswich was from Newcastle.


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.
