Lee Ashcroft, who at £500,000 could remain Town's record signing 'til kingdom come, is training with second division Port Vale with a view to a transfer. The gifted but lazy forward joined GTFC in 1998 but moved on to Wigan two years later, where he has kept the bench lovely and toasty ever since.

Cult hero Steve Livingstone - who returned to first-team action on Tuesday night after recovering from a fractured skull two months ahead of schedule - has pledged his readiness to start this weekend's match at Watford if injuries elsewhere mean his unique services are required. Livvo tells the Grimsby Telegraph: "If I'm needed I'll give what I can."
