Any half decent paper would surely have run the toaster story with a "George Oghani" angle.
Former Dingles forward was a well known domestic appliance thief who (if memory serves) stole an ironing board (and used it to clobber the shop assistant when making good his escape).

Surely it could have been built up into some sort of major crime story? All the ingredients are there...football, revenge, a potential serial thief suspect, a small town with residents scared to leave their kitchen.

No wonder we've got no fans when opportunities like this are missed.
