Short term fix?
When Cyril Knowles borrowed 34-year-old John MacPhail from Sunderland it looked like being a short term defensive option. Three months later the deal was made permanent, and "Monty" went on to make almost 200 appearances for the club, including 42 starts at the heart of defence in that first season as Pools won promotion.
