I remember Gary King playing for us on a Tuesday night in an away game at Cammell Laird (Merseyside). At the time he was on loan from Lincoln City, and the Lincoln manager Peter Jackson was at Cammell Laird to check on his progress. At the end of the game I drove away from the ground and had to wait at a red traffic light nearby. The car in front of me was a marked taxi - from Lincoln! I can't think of any other reason why a Lincoln taxi would be in Liverpool at 10:00 pm on a Tuesday evening, and can only deduce that it was Peter Jackson's mode of transport to the game. It must have cost a fortune.
It wasn't long after that night that reports came out of Lincoln City's financial troubles!
