Mike Sheron, such an inspirational signing that people have been talking about it ever since.

Not sure where Houston is now. He was I think in the MLS

Which I can tie in...Houston as I recall, used to whistle at his players...which leads me (via the Guardian) to this Appeal from Martin Allen - looking for someone to teach how to whistle!

Manager's Message: Whistling Teacher

Posted on: Thu 18 Aug 2011

Good afternoon,

I am desperately trying to find somebody that can teach me to whistle. This may sound like a joke but I can assure you it's not. This is not for my dog, this is for me to whistle from the technical area.

Any ideas please let me know asap via [e-mail].

Regards,

Martin
