I remember Akinde as being good at getting his body on the wrong side for the defender (a combination of strength and movement back then) and then going down like a sack of spuds if the defender put in a clumsy challenge. In the grand scale of things, probably no worse than Jack Lester tricking his way into the box, then going down like a sack of spuds!

Question is, can Akinde still perform? If he's similar to the player of his pomp, he'd be a good signing.

Jack Lester was far more artistic, - a beautiful trailing leg that the defender would catch.

Akinde is very much in the mould of Tony Cunningham also a Lincoln player and he played at Wednesday - he suckered Kevin Moore and the ref into a pen at Hillsborough that ended our faint hopes of promotion to Division 1 in 1984.

I saw your face and heard you call my name.

Would make sense after Steve Evans coming out on the radio last week saying that we put in a bid... Putting 2 + 2 together Hurst tried at signing him in the past I don't think it's too far off the money. Only worrying thing is that he's stated after Lincoln he wanted to remain down South.

They say these things but if the right deal comes along and he’s guaranteed first team football…and wouldn’t have to deal with that flipping disgrace of a man Evans, you never know…

That said, as desperate as fans seem to be for a striker, I wouldn’t go overboard with his contract…

The real audience of that article was Paul Scully, Gillingham chairman who he’s trying to get more money out of.
