Was it Watkins who was woken up by SAF at midnight holding a bag containing 40K in cash?

He’d been given a “gift” of a porcelain tea urn by the Russian agent of Kanchelskis (?) during a meeting to finalise the offloading of him to Everton. (I’m old and senile - it could have been a wholly different transfer. Apologies.)

Took it home for his wife to open, and admits to shatting himself when he saw the money. Straight round to Maurice’s gaff.

Also rumoured that Watkins was vociferously on SAF’s side in the Magner/racehorse saga.

Didn't he used to be your Club Secretary? I'm sure I've got some old Derby tickets from way back with his name on.

Checked before, you're right.

Les Olive sent me a nice letter when I applied for the manager's job after Sexton was sacked. Needless to say, I didn't get the job. But he said he would keep my application on file.

Still waiting.

Never lose hope.
