WTF, 80 year old David Pleat getting a job with our scouting dept ? I actually thought he had passed away a few years ago?.

The mail surely have the wrong David.

Stevie I wouldn't be overly concerned about it, he might be 80 but he's a football man and will still know a player when he sees one HH.

Goes to show there's still hope for Timalloy to get a job with Celtic?.

Pleat is a self-confessed football obsessive. When he was a scout at spurs he found Delle Ali and vertonghen. I don't think his age is a concern as I am still confident he will know a good player when he sees one.

He was in school with Edd and he recommended him so that’s good enough for me ?.
{Ed007's Note - Cheeky sod! ?

Why not if he's of sound mind he'll cover parts of England and l bet he can still spot a player.

I must admit I was a little surprised when I read this but guys like Pleat live and breathe football.
He might well find us that elusive CDM ?

{Ed007's Note - Remember I used to talk about Piet de Visser who Abramovich trusted so much he had permission to offer any player he seen the chance of joining Chelsea until RA was forced out, he turns 91 this year and if RA was still at Chelsea so would PdV and still have the same power.}

We are bargaining on him being able to see further than 4ft infront of himself. Not so sure ? ?.

fergie must be nearly 80 and i am certain he would know a player if he seen one.
