4 February 2003

Blundell Park could pass as the Old Bailey this week if the number of trials being held there is anything to go by. Mansfield midfielder Jimmy Ghaichem, defenders Andy Kelly from Middlesbrough and Danny Self from Norwich, and left winger Kevin George (origin unknown) have all followed Oldham's Wayne Gill down the M180 since yesterday. The Diary's usual sources of information have turned up very little about all of these players; a good thing, then, that Googlism is around to explain that Kevin George "is the best palm butter cook in the Washington DC area" while Andy Kelly "is a very melodic bass player", "is usually available by pager" and "is going to be stopped Friday night". Can they stop Galli while they're at it?
