Among Sunday night's hurly-burly I failed to notice that York's had broken their transfer record with the £8.5m signing of Fabian Delph. That's £1.5m more than Julian's previous biggest signings, Diomansy Kamara, Rolando Bianchi and Giles Barnes.
So, what do we know about Delph and what have I made up?
He was born in Bradford and started his youth career with that club until Leeds signed him at the age of 11. He scored six times in 44 games for the Elland Road club last season and was the Football League's Young Player of the Year.
He lives in Tadcaster which is twinned with Saint Chely d'Apcher. The southern French town has a Museum of Butterflies containing more than 2,700 species.
He is currently serving an 18-month ban from driving after pleading guilty to driving whilst over the limit.
He is an accomplished bassoon player and is equally at home with both the Heckel-system and Buffet-system instrument.
