If I've got it backwards it was he's signing because they saw him buying patio furniture. No, you're absolutely spot on! What a time to be alive that was. We ended up selling him for 500k in the end, which was quite frankly horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I've got it backwards it was he's signing because they saw him buying patio furniture. This is probably my only ever claim to fame, from the old DET forum days. I lurk but rarely post these days. Was my mate who worked in Homebase at kingsway and it was when speculation was rife about tommy smith leaving. He’d just sold him a patio set and, come on, who buys a patio set in derby just before your about to move to London?! So I posted this tid bit to allay everyone’s fears. Evidently tommy smith, that’s who. Left the next week lol. Screenshotted this to my mate the other day for a chuckle. Maybe it was the shoddy Homebase workmanship that pushed him away, maybe if it had been a much misquoted B&Q set he’d have stayed. Maybe we’ll never know...

Horan's a member of a golf management team. He does support work and training with professional golfers. I imagine that also includes rich folk who like a bit of golf. Could be a Derby link ofc, but there's no certainty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
