Lee Hughes has become Notts County's first signing of the Sven-Goran Eriksson era.
The 33-year-old has signed a two-year contract following his release by Oldham Athletic in May.
Alternative unofficial Walsall fansites had heavily linked former Baggie Hughes to a Banks's Stadium move. Given his history off-the-field and his goal scoring record on-the-field the speculation conjured up a huge mix of feeling amongst Saddlers fans'.
In a recent Walsall MAD vote opinion was split right down the middle:
| Lee Hughes - Would you welcome him to Walsall? | ||
| Yes | 47.5% | |
| No | 37.5% | |
| Unsure | 15.0% | |
But as a player goals have always come:
