DOUBLE GLAZER Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 (edited) "I loved the pubs." "Lager and lime with a whisky chaser. I'd drink 10 , 20 pints a night and then we'd train the next day. That's what England taught me, how to drink and play." If only he'd drunk the same as Hirsty ! Edited March 24, 2013 by DOUBLE GLAZER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owls4effa Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 His wife was in Nether edge hospital expecting their child at the same time my son was born there. It took me about a week to finally pluck up courage to talk to him' then i found out he could'nt undestand a flippingword of English anyway.

latemodelchild Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 My first hero. He was the only player I could make out on the pitch with his socks rolled down so I remembered his name. Can't remember if he was any good or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torryowl Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 had a bit of summat about him but wasnt really suited to the english game but if the drinkings true had no problem adapting to english life...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dukeries Owl Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 From what I remember of him his passes were far more intelligent than the players he was trying to pass to. Consequently in some ways his obvious talent was wasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whatahoot Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 He was pissed at Highbury against Brighton in the semi final. Only excuse I can think of. He should have got p----d every game ....he scored at Highbury ! If only the rest of the team had half a brain and could get on the same wave length as him.
