He may often struggle to find the back of the net, but Cobblers attacking midfielder Sam Hoskins has used his summer break to uncover an unusual find, a mysterious shaped skull!
The former Yeovil man made the surprising discovery during an excavation in Alsace, France, when he uncovered a substantially elongated skull dating back 1,500 years. The ex Southampton youth prospect immediately contacted Cobblers gaffer
Keith Curle asking if the club could extend his time off in to mid August as the discovery prompted Sam to extend his search over 7.5 acres, which resulted in the discovery of an abundance of artefacts, human and animal remains from Neolithic, Gallic, Gallo-Roman,
and Merovingian societies. It is not known if the former Preston North End loanee will meet up with the rest of the Cobblers first team squad on the preseason tour of Spain.
Hoskin’s agent said “The skull appears to have been intentionally elongated through the practice known as cranial deformation, which is usually associated with ancient Mesoamerican cultures and was practiced extensively in Europe, Africa,
Asia, and South America. The important question is of course why? To answer this Sam will need to carry out further research and examine the other finds which in reality will mean him missing Walsall at home, Port Vale and possibly the EFL Cup tie at Swansea.”
This follows the news from earlier in the week that Dai Cornell had successfully excavated part of the tomb of Qin Shi Huang.
