I remember once ( @Dan will too) a few of us did some PM’s and we started a rumour on ST about signing ( I forget who ) but a really top player of the time.
We did it carefully , built up the thread , added some potential credibility, kept the fires stirring and waited until the media bit down on the hook ( they did ).
Next thing it’s front page news ( well back page anyway ) in the Telegraph, only to be refuted the next day by the player mentioned as being absolute bull****.
We laughed and laughed for ages over that.
Dan will have a better memory than me of the player in question but you’ll get the drift.
