The Jamie Show!

24th March 2006

Yesterday, it became a lot easier to recall the names of Lincoln City's players.........as they are all called Jamie! Well, ok, not quite all.

Shortly before Thursday's loan deadline, Lincoln completed a shock loan swoop for Gainsborough Trinity's midfielder Jamie Sherlock. Earlier in the day, they signed striker Jamie Forrester on loan from Bristol Rovers. Both of these Jamies will now link-up with current Imps' defender Jamie McCombe.

Sherlock's signing is a shock because his career has actually taken several downward turns over the years. In 2002, he was playing for the then Unibond First Division club North Ferriby United but left to move further down the non-league pyramid with Brigg Town.

The gamble proved correct and he became a member of a successful side. This persuaded Conference club Scarborough to sign him from Brigg, where he played alongside current Imps' Colin Cryan and Scott Kerr.

His time at Scarborough also included a loan move to Ossett Town before Scarborough decided to allow him to leave permanently. Hence, in summer 2004, Sherlock move down a division to sign for Gainsborough Trinity.

This season, Sherlock has made 27 league and cup appearances but has failed to score.

Meanwhile, former Boston United striker Daryl Clare has signed for Conference club Burton Albion. Clare had held talks with Lincoln City's manager Keith Alexander on Monday, but a move collapsed because City would not met Clare's wage demands.
