It doesn't get loner than Finney, I'd say.

True, but going back to those days, it seemed players accepted their fate and stayed where they were, to the detriment of everything (finance, glory, standing [sort of]). Outside of Franklin and Charles, Brits of any repute barely left the island, whereas in Robson's time, he must've got offers that were eye-watering compared to what he was on.

But yeah, Finney trumps Robson, as comparatively, he had a much worse set of team mates than McGrath, Whiteside and the lesser, but decent lights of Robbo's pomp.

LuckyScout78 was a member on the Official Man Utd forum (from Man Utd website). I know, because I was also an active member on that forum. Unfortunately, its been discontinued.

His posting style resonated with me as I saw him as the polar opposite to a user known as ''Ruud''. Both were fantastic contributions to the transfer forum. The latter took inspiration from Whoscored and Squawka to create his own algorithm. His two principles being 1. Football is about balance. 2. The more games you watch the less balance you have. This poster had a pragmatic way of experiencing football.

In contrast, there was LuckyScout (he had a different username) who would speak with a sense of passion when discussing players as he had ambitions to be a scout in his professional life. I used to enjoy his threads about players I wasn't familiar with. The most notable example him raving for years that Man Utd should sign Lewandowski from Lech Poznań. I'm incredibly ignorant to the Polish league, so LuckyScout's glowing appraisal was the first time I'd heard of Lewandowski.
 
What's new? Liverpool fans has been singing about it for decades.
 
What I loved the most about @Vidyoyo 's audiobook is that if there was a typo in the text, he's made sure it's there in the audio book too. Case in point "Conistent" was pronounced without an "s", "a lone" had a pause between "a" and "lone".

Maybe add a couple of adverts in the middle like you hear in BBC podcasts and this would be more hilarious than what it already is.

I felt it was important to stay faithful to the original text :)

Though I got it wrong at one point when I said 'Den-ee' Law instead of Dennis. I thought it was a typo but it is indeed spelled Denis.

The best thing is you already know lucky scout won’t even bother listening to or acknowledging the audio. The next time we will hear from him is if Olson scores or our midfield has a bad game and he’ll fire out a new thread with a couple of recommendations like this thread never happened and then log off again until the next time inspiration strikes

That audio post is still one of the greatest things on this site. We need a full audiobook release.

That and how Luckyscout is treated differently to a Norwegian king when he visits the White House.
