I recall that Chapman said he wanted to move to the London area to be nearer to his wife and her job-actress Leslie Ash- but moved to France, then Forest and then to Leeds. (so much for London).

If it's true he wanted first team wages I'm not surprised we walked away True we don't but surely a kid with a goal scoring record like him was entitled to more than the average youth team player Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Which first team players was he wanting to be level with? I believe I read he was to be the highest paid youth player but wouldn't know what kind of wage that would be. No saying his youth record would be anything like if he made the first team but it's a shame we never got to find out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

No saying at all, but all he could do was score at every level, including international. See if Penney kicks in this year Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

The suspicion was a bit of skullduggery cooked up between Forest and Niort.  https://owlsonline.com/index.php/w?page=forum&thread_id=38705 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
