Scott goes AWOL

Last updated : 16 April 2004 By Gary Hutchinson
City midfield enigma Scott Willis was absence without leave today following a bust up with his loan club Hereford United.
Willis apparently attended a Hereford nightclub against the wishes of The Bulls and along with team mate Danny Williams was excluded from the squad that faced Aldershot on bank holiday monday.
Hereford boss Graham Turner spoke of the termination of Willis' spell. "Scott has returned to Lincoln. His loan spell has been cut short. He won't figure again for us this season."
However City supremo Keith Alexander has a slightly different view on proceedings. "I know he breached club discipline and I'm sure he'll be fined for that. I do think he'll see out the agreed loan period as I've certainly not be told otherwise".

The controversy isn't the first to attach itself to Cilla Blacks nephew. He was dismissed for a throat high challenge in a game against Cambridge last season, as well as being sent off for apparently spitting at Stockport Countys John Hardicker. He spent a while on trial at Stockport earlier in the season but his services weren't retained.

He has been on loan at Hereford since the end of February and has appeared nine times for the Bulls scoring twice. His last goal was in the clash against Barnet last weekend where he also picked up another red card. It was following this game the alledged breach of discipline took place.
