Don't think we tried to sign him permanently, despite the Paddock's pleas. IIRC he was about £65k, out of our league in those days for a full-back.

This is in the era of Phil Neal, who refused to sell Trevor Morgan to some Oriental side because they'd only offered £6k after mentioning £7k... :?
I think Fulham snapped him up at the asking price.

No, Chief - norrim. He scored against England when we played them. Baldy head. (ah, yes, he may be Macedonian rather than Moldovan)
