Burley on Peralta Loan Interest Tue 21st Aug 2001 08:59 Town have announced that Internazionale's Sixto Peralta is likely to join on a season's loan later this week. The 22-year-old ex-Italian U21 international will arrive in the next couple of days and Town are hopeful that all the details will be ready for him to be included in the squad for Saturday's game with Charlton. |
Dublin City 0-5 Town Tue 07th Aug 2001 22:06 A Richard Naylor hat-trick completed in the first 49 minutes of the game helped Town to an easy 5-0 win over Dublin City tonight. The flame-haired striker reminded George Burley that he is still around with two first half headers to put Town two-up at half-time. |
Town Squad for PSV Fri 03rd Aug 2001 11:48 As expected there are a number of players missing from the squad for tomorrow's game with PSV. New boys Pablo Counago and Andy Marshall are both out with an ankle injury and a back strain. |
Scowy Talks Continue Fri 27th Jul 2001 00:12 James Scowcroft is due to be in Leicester tomorrow to continue talks with Peter Taylor. Earlier there were reports of a hitch but this now seems to have been overcome. |
Braintree 1-5 Town Wed 25th Jul 2001 23:45 A typical pre-season friendly with a non-league side ended with Town running out comfortable 5-1 winners. The game gave Town fans their first opportunity to watch Pablo Couñago and Andy Marshall while Tommy Miller was in attendence, although not playing. |
Squad for Braintree Tue 24th Jul 2001 15:47 Tow have named the squad which travels to Braintree tomorrow evening for Russell Tanner's testimonial. The game was postponed due to rain at the end of last season. |
Town Team Thu 19th Jul 2001 00:02 Town's side from last night was as follows: |
Miller Signing Mon 16th Jul 2001 14:46 Tommy Miller looks likely to become Town's first cash outlay of the summer if he passes a medical. Reports this afternoon say the Hartlepool player has agreed to join Town for an initial fee now thought to be £750,000. The fee will rise to £1 million depending on appearances etc. |
Derby 1 - 1 Town Sat 19th May 2001 18:22 Another last day of the season decider and again other sides failed to do Town a favour. As with Wolves and Blackburn on the last day of the last two seasons both Charlton and Leicester failed to take points from Liverpool and Leeds. Unlike on those occasions Town failed to fulfil their side of the bargain, only managing a draw with Derby. |
Another Norwegian Linked Fri 04th May 2001 10:44 Town have been linked with Norwegian striker Thorstein Helstad from Brann Bergen. Apparently Town scouts watched the striker play against Stromsgodset on Wednesday (the same night as they are also reported to have watched Magne Hoseth play elsewhere in Norway) and if they were there they couldn't have failed to be impressed. |
