Story on BBC from Lincoln manager Peter Jackson. Have we ever signed a player in such unusual circumstances?

"Jackson was sitting in his office at the training ground earlier in the summer when he noticed a bloke hanging around outside his door.

It turned out to be a Romanian who wanted to know whether the Imps would be interested in signing him. Jackson, ever the gentleman, took the player's CV and told him to come back when pre-season training started.

"I put it in the bottom drawer and forgot about it," Jackson told me. "But a couple of weeks later he was spotted running around the training ground with his wife on his back."

The player's name is Adrian Patulea and his persistence has now been rewarded with a trial at the club.

Patulea scored a hat-trick coming off the bench in his first game for Lincoln."

It wasn't his wife! it was Buffy!!

"Romanian striker Adrian Patulea found a novel way of grabbing Lincoln City's attention in his bid to earn a trial with the League Two club - he turned up at their training ground with a naked girl strapped to his back.

The 24-year-old former Rapid Bucharest star begged manager Peter Jackson for an opportunity, and went to extraordinary lengths to get himself noticed."

The problem for Lincoln will be getting a work permit!  Been there done that!
