    Good luck Holty!

    A brilliant signing for this lower league side. He will bring muscle and experience, if not pace.
    I wish Holty well.
    He did a great job for us in the time he was here.

    He was also a pundit at one of the lower division games in England on sky at the weekend.

    He loved his goal against Hearts which means I'll forever love Grant Holt.

    Kings Lynn have got a better 2 teir main stand than the yams. Probably the biggest in football at this level.

    Definitely going to pop up to see holt playing for them and to sit in their spacious seats

    One of my favourite players of this decade. What he lacked in pace he more than made up for in cleverness, intelligence, determination and character.

    Sounds like a plan. Spent four-months of the student days living in a tent in West Lynn, in a field provided by the adjacent canning factory, for their summer workforce & my son is in Norwich.

    He was quality and I'd have liked him to have signed on with us again.

    Probably thinking of management or coaching by this point in his career and it could be he sees this as a starting point. Are Kings Lynn not more noted for speedway than football

    Good luck to him, did a decent job for us, but in all honesty I doubt he would have got a game for us in the premiership apart from maybe as an impact sub and clearly NL felt the same.

    The way he turned the semi against sheep in our favour when he came on summed up his contribution to the cause last season. Great pro

    Very likable guy who absolutely loves living in Norwich with his family, when you marry that with the extra timber he's carrying and his age, it makes a whole lot of sense.

    They just signed Simon Lappin too, my friend from King's Lynn is absolutely buzzing.

    Best of luck Holty! Cheers for that goal against Hearts.

    They're mainly noted for being home to an abundance of 12 fingered individuals.

    Have to admit I'm not a fan of the big man up front but NL seems to like the option in his arsenal, fair enough.

    Grant has been a decent pro, an honest lad that never gave anything other than his best. Good luck to him in the future.

    Could have seen him and Stokes working tbh. Think he was homesick though.
