Report for April 2002
Hall of fame
Stuart McCall
The greatest player ever to wear claret and amber.
Employee of the month
Nicky Law
For years City fans have had a single mantra: We need some young 'uns. Nicky Law is finally doing something about it.
Goal of the month
John Hendrie against Rangers
Peter Beagrie tricks and teases on the wing before crossing to number seven John Hendrie to finish. When cloning and anti-aging technology ramps up goals like this will be common place at VP.
On-field positive
Danny Cadamarteri grabbing a goal down at Walsall that should boost the guys confidence through the summer.
On-field negative
The end of Staurt McCall's City career was a downer and if Peter Beagrie can still play like he did against Rangers then we wasted him when Jim Jefferies let him go.
Off-field positive
Not really a positive but the ITV Digital deal going belly up cuts the legs off half the division leaving City, still getting Premiership payments, in a much better position for next term.
Off-field negative
The club not putting up the money to sign Alan Combe. Come on, £150,000.
Funny
Huddersfield in the play offs.
Not funny
The Rangers fans booing Andy O'Brien.
