13 Years Ago

Post by Fretters » Fri Jun 12, 2020 10:12 pm

According to the 'memories' feature on my Facebook account, on the 12th June 2007 I found out that we'd signed Besart Barisha and I was beyond excited, having just seen him tear the England B team apart at the Turf.

Where does time go, eh?

He was brilliant in the pre season friendly at Stanley as well.

Fair play to the lad though.
Set a few new records over in Oz. 8-)

Shame about Berisha, he looked a real prospect when he signed, and who knows what his future might have been but for that unfortunate injury.

Who was the Albania midfielder ex Baggies who we had on trial pre season around these times?
I believe we coulnt get a work permit despite him having a season at WBA

Artim Sakiri? We were useless at those tribunals back then. We also lost out on Luton Shelton.

Maybe that was a good thing that we couldn't sign Luton. I think he eventually played a few games for Sheffield United

Always loved the Chuck Norris inspired Besart Berisha facts on the messageboard which shall not be named.

Besart Berisha can slam a revolving door.
