Lovely tribute. Reading it, it seems staggering that the clueless idiot Burtenshaw didn't pick him for three months to start with. As I recall, when we signed him that summer he was one of the most promising players outside the first division and had just broken into the England B team the previous season at Orient. Yet more ammunition to say Burtenshaw was our worst ever manager. |  |

Yes I think we were between managers. Frank Sibley had left and we hadn't appointed Burtenshaw yet. I have a feeling but not sure, that he was a coach at the club so maybe the fact that he wasn't appointed until August, would suggest that he wasn't the preferred choice.
Anyone know more? | | | |

Seems to be unclear. Wiki, Soccerbase and qprnet.com says Sibley was manager until 29th July.
Wiki says Alec Stock was caretaker manager for a couple of days (30th July - 1st August) but Soccerbase says he was caretaker from the 30th July - 10th August.
qprnet.com says Glenn was signed 10th August, the same day Burtenshaw came in but usually these things take a couple of weeks to happen so quite likely he wasn't his signing hence not playing him at first.
I'd say Alec Stock probably had a great deal to do in his signing. [Post edited 2 Mar 2021 10:54]
