“…as soon as Terry Venables got the job at QPR, he made me his first signing. again. I always say to people, ‘I was Venables’ first signing at Palace, his first signing at QPR, but when he got the Barcelona job, I sat waiting for a call that never came!"
Great question and you could possibly file the answer under quirky but I’m not shocked by it. I seem to remember Silkman was related to Stan Flashman. And later a team mate of Stan at the O’s?
Yes the one and only ! Been reading his book it’s very good he’s a player that goes under the radar a lot but I never in a million years knew that he also was 3rd in player of the year! ( players player ) yes he was with Stan at Orient when he was player / assistant manager one thing he’s also revealed is that when Super Ray was in charge he brought over two Australians on trial Andy McDermott and Lucas Neil ! Always us that ends up with the wrong player !
