We'll never know what would have happened after the T-Shirt stuff but no one could question his commitment on the pitch when he wore our shirt. The lad was f**king outstanding midfielder for us
First season certainly. Massive drop off second season.
46 games, 13 goals in season 1. 27 games, 3 goals in season 2.
He had a nasty injury so hard to say if he could have recaptured that 1st season form had he not been a nugget.

The one thing that stood out for me was how he stood out quality wise. He dominated the midfield
Hartlepool want to appoint him as manager
They cannot enter the Papa John's trophy so will go for a pizza face instead.

I thought Cattermole just got the Pools job?
Nothing has been confirmed, looks like they might have started doing interviews again

Nothing against the fella he was excellent for us.
Has never said a bad word about us either.

Was that about 97/98? I always remember something randomly from an interview i read with him, he's bragged about having Horny by Mousse T in his set months before it came out over hereI used to work for MATCH back in the mid-’90s and you would build up relationships with footballers. Obviously they were focused on the Premiership (as it was known then), so I rarely got the chance to interview Sunderland players (I did Deech once, about his DJing – lovely bloke). So, I tended to be given the NUFC players to deal with as the editor thought I'd know more about them.
Anyway, got to talk to LC a lot, often in tandem with Steve Watson as they were good pals. He always had time for a chat and was as good as gold whenever I talked to him. Just lots of 'bantz', as it was later called, I guess. Obviously not the sharpest tool in the box, but then that was par for the course with a lot of players I talked to.
As mentioned, as a player he was excellent for us. Just a shame that all that good work was sullied somewhat by T-Shirtgate.
Not a clue why I remember that bit only like.

They never learn do they? Journeymen managers like Clark are the reason they're stagnant in the National League

That’d be about right. Funnily enough, immediately after MATCH I went and worked for Mixmag.Was that about 97/98? I always remember something randomly from an interview i read with him, he's bragged about having Horny by Mousse T in his set months before it came out over here

Beheedie and CarverWell thats two managers Pools have signed in the last few days.
I wonder how many more they'll sign this week.
I would never have forced him out over a daft tee shirt incident, and he could have cried off the Mags games if they bothered him. A goal scoring midfielder - we have had very few.
