Everyone's favourite photo of Screech, his impersonation of a 1950's ciggy card!
Here it is!
Proof that League Two rivals Lincoln City have signed Scott Spencer, he's told us himself!

Thank you to all the SUFC fans for the support this season, I wish the lads all the best, now let's kik on at LCFC....cum on the IMPS

And we thought the internet had speeded news up, tweeting has made sites looking like a Victorian printing press!
So thanks Scott for that, let's face it he was never given a chance at Roots Hall, certainly not under Blues boss Paul Sturrock, though the rumour was a training 'incident' with sacked assistant manager Tommy Widdrington is what done for him.
When the former Everton trainee striker came on at Huddersfield last season and made Peter Clarke look rather foolish we all thought we may have discovered a star but it was never to be with us and we wish him well as ex-boss Steve Tilson makes his first raid on his former club. May not be the last!
Still, it's a gamble by Tilly, but when you're remaining stuck around the bottom two that's sometimes all you've got.
As one of the loyal four that stayed over the summer it looks as if only Anthony Grant has Luggy's approval and it wouldn't be a surprise when forward Matt Patterson and left back Johnny Herd get shown the door, and Granty himself may be off for some much needed dosh.
It does free up some wages and with only a few days of the January transfer window left, and Bilel Mohsni could also move on yet, at least two signings should be expected, certainly a striker, as Sturrock goes on a full charm offensive.
Certainly three points at Barnet and a decent league position come the weekend might make the odd player believe they would not be playing League Two football for that long.
As he's beamed up to Lincolnshire, the season long move will be completed on Monday with the option of another year, good luck Scotty.
And it's now been confirmed by the official site, contract cancelled, nice!:
