Stone Roses set the trend for Saddlers

Smith is a fan of the reunited foursome and the manager admitted his players have pinched his ‘lucky’ iPod – which has an unbeaten record – to help prove they are What The World Is Waiting For.
He said: “I’m starting to trend set in the dressing room – the lads suddenly want my iPod now the Stone Roses have come back into fashion. It helps get the lads up.”
