Hawks make second major signing
9:00am Thursday 12th July 2012 in General sport By Howard Griggs
Whitehawk have completed their second major signing of the week by snapping up vastly experienced striker Scott McGleish from Bristol Rovers.
McGleish has scored 209 Football League goals in 692 appearances in an 18-year professional career covering spells at Charlton Athletic, Leyton Orient, Peterborough, Colchester, Cambridge United, Barnet, Northampton, Wycombe Wanderers and Bristol Rovers.
Although now 38, he netted nine goals for the Pirates last season but was released at the end of the season and has opted to go part-time with Whitehawk despite an offer to stay in the Football League.
He joins fellow new Hawks signing Matt Lawrence, who arrived from Gillingham earlier in the week.

That incident in 1997(!) has become part of Albion myth. It seems very likely that it wasn't McGleish at all but another Orient striker. Still, we can't let the truth get in the way of 15 years of embarrassing bitterness.

McGleish is a terrific lower league pro now winding down his career. That incident in 1997(!) has become part of Albion myth. It seems very likely that it wasn't McGleish at all but another Orient striker. Still, we can't let the truth get in the way of 15 years of embarrassing bitterness.

This man will score loads of goals this season as he knows where the goal is and will be a class act at this level.

Wheres all this money coming from ?
All those years spent building up the youth policy at Whitehawk were a waste of time.
Two 38 year olds.
Not exactly building for the future.
Sex and drugs and rock and roll!

Nobody in Whitehawk will have a clue where Lowestoft is.Especially Subnormal Sid!
Lucky it's at home.
Sid will be there with his extended inbred family.
If they get more than 200 spectators Paul Hubbard will swim back to the beach at Kemp Town,jog up Dukes Mound,sprint along Arundel road then wander along the campsite road looking for a REAL Whitehawk FC person.

That would be really poetic.
A whitehawk player,stood alone,waiting for his money.
Hand extended,almost begging.
Thinking "This ain't funny."
They said I'd get a grand a week.
Playing for this ****.
Now it's christmas,we've lost ten games and they're saying money's tight.
Fifty fans won't pay my wedge
The whole things gone tits up
For half a million they're gonna want more than the Senior Cup.
