Saints boss Gus MacPherson has admitted that he knows nothing about the player and that he was recommended by a Saints fan living in the Essex area! Perhaps I should give that a try, I've heard that Stuart Gillespie is a half decent striker....
Admittedly it seems that Gus and Andy Millen have done their homework on the guy eben though they haven't seen him play. A trial period makes sense as it allows us to see if he is any good.
Another development is that there is also apparent interest from Colchester United. here's hoping that if he's good enough he opts for us.
