“The nickname denoted a certain time in technology. Perhaps today he would have been ‘the Twitter scorer’ or ‘the Instagram attacker’. In the days before social media, Roy Essandoh was ‘the Teletext striker’, the man who went down in football folklore for being signed because of an article that appeared in blockish type on television screens and who scored an injury-time winner for the lower-league underdogs in an FA Cup quarter-final.”

In Episode Thirty Six we look back to ‘One Hit Wonders’ by Richard Jolly, our Eight Bells feature from Issue Nineteen. Some players flicker brightly and briefly in the footballing consciousness, and from Jimmy Glass to Roy Dwight, Steve Morrow to Roy Essandoh, we feature some of the players whose names have gone down in history, albeit not with the longest of entries in the footballing Who’s Who.
