Quote ="Ian 77 Redux"I can just imagine the story on the BBC website now....
[i'Hull Kingston Rovers are reeling from the news that new signing Willie Mason has been refused a work permit. Mason was hoping to start a 3 year contract at the New Craven Park based club.
Speaking after the news broke, Rovers coach Justin 'Chocolate' Morgan said (whilst blowing kissess to his reflection): 'We're gutted a player of Willie's reputation couldn't come to Rovers. Like me, he's been on telly a lot - although I get more radio work.'
Mystery surrounds a tip off that the UK Border Agency received. A source said: 'We had a number of calls from the Wigan and Bradford area. A lady who left only the name Susan Fieldthem said that she had been assaulted by Mr Mason back in 2006'.[/i'"
