A striker , he briefly 'passed through' on his way to his UB 40 and oblivion. I seem to recall he'd been a f/t 'pro' at Sunderland, poised to break into the first team, but had been unceremoniously shown the door when he tested positive for some 'nose candy' or other......his name was David RUSH......:-) Unfortunately, he failed to live up to the name. David Trudge, or David Dawdle would have suited him better. And I think we finally found out who *had* 'eaten all the pies'....;-) Howard New and Improved Yahoo!
