Did I miss something with Shaun North?

I think you meant Shaun Taylor

Great signing - top bloke ( for an Australian) !
I know I keep on about this but Aaron was a real threat with his head from corners and scored quite a few, hopefully he can improve us in that area

Legend. Absolutely fantastic addition.

I wonder if, at some point in the future after serving his apprenticeship under Johnson, this returning legend will make a successful manager at TUFC?

A real positive for me. A leader when he was here on the pitch and a top bloke too. He will only further enhance the positive feeling in amongst the squad which Johnson has so quickly established from the gloom left by Owers. It also fills you with a greater hope that Johnson is planning a long term stay with him bringing in an Assistant and also his brother as scout.

Sorry to put a damper on all the great stuff flying about TUFC (not the actual gulls - very messy) BUT are you for real? Have you been in hiding for the past few years? LEGENDS as MANAGER at TUFC have not served us at all well!!

Aaron Downes always gave 100% in a United shirt. Top bloke. This is good news indeed.
Funnily enough last Saturday as I left Plainmoor I heard 3 fans chatting and the name Aaron Downes came up.
They must have known something.

Good news

For Gawds sake - he is not a legend , neither was Nicholson, neither was Hargreaves, just all very good players in their time for us
There has only been one legend and that was a long time ago
