TonyMac 720 Posted April 12, 2005 It's good to see that Backtrack has helped to rebuild bridges between John Louis and John Berry. It's not as if they've not been on speaking terms anyway, because the hatchet was buried long ago. But... ...At the same time as issue 7 came out, in which Tiger John expressed his honest dismay at the way he was 'dropped' by the Ipswich management in 1981, Berry reacted to those comments by immediately going on record in the local paper as saying that letting Louis go to Halifax was his biggest regret as a promoter. The look on Tiger's face, as he took possession of a copy of the Evening Star's back page just before the home meeting on Good Friday, was a picture! He clearly took a lot of satisfaction in seeing his former boss make such an honest admission, albeit 24 years on! In fairness to JB, his new signings, Sigalos and Cook, proved successful replacements for Louis and Billy Sanders, and the club went on to win more honours in the next few years. And, at the end of the day, the moves worked out well for all concerned, because Louis had two very good seasons with the Dukes, before doing even better for King's Lynn.
