Re: Simon Yeo

I think Simon is good enough for the Third Division, and he will do a great
job for Lincoln. All the best Si. (Paul Ashwell)

Simon is good enough for league football. This last year hasn't been his
best, even though he's the top scorer, but probably because the team is not
good enough for him. We've seen him score a few hat-tricks and once scored
five in a game. I'm sure Lincoln will see the best of him. (James Ferry)

Re: Simon Yeo

I was a little surprised by your signing of Simon Yeo. Don't get me wrong, a
very good player, often scoring against Worksop. He was a player I wished we
had signed. A proven goalscorer in the Unibond. The reason I was surprised
was because I thought his age would be against him.maybe he looks older than
he actually is. He just seems to have been around for years. At least he
will not be scoring against us this season! (unless you let him out on
loan).

Re: Simon Yeo

If you do let Yeo out on loan, please put a clause in his contract that he
cannot play against us! If you haven't seen Yeo yet, he has a NOSE for goal,
from memory is rivals Barry Manilows!
