"I had spoken to Neil Sorvel, told him about our interest and asking him what his plans were. He was keeping his options open. Crewe wanted to keep him and a couple of other First and Second Division clubs had come in for him so we were the outsiders but bearing in mind his history as a very popular player I was hoping he might be tempted. He has decided to go back to Crewe and play in the First division and I wish him well."
