Lee Hendrie interview in the Guardian

[FrankyH]

The large headed orange one was also in the England under 21's the same time as Frank Lampard.But I suspect fat Frank had all the breaks.

I forgot to include this in my rant , my feelings exactly .Hope he never pulls on a shirt for the Villa Old Stars

Just read the article and now know he has- criminal !

[Dave Cooper please]

Look, I don't want to sound like I'm suddenly his biggest fan just because he's turned up at Tamuff, but he did play for us for ten years and came through our youth set-up, he surely has as much right to play for the Old-Stars as many who turn up who I hardly recognise as ever playing a first team game for Villa.

And it is charity games he's turning out in. It's not like he gets paid for them.

Comparison I always make is with Gareth Barry as Barry himself had issues with drink early on in his career but soon wised up while Hendrie didnt.

One is still playing at the very highest level for club and country in his 30s, Hendrie is in non-league.

Hmmm, couldn't help but think that read an awful lot like the many "Sorry about that red card, I'm all grown up now and have learned my lesson and it won't happen again" articles that appeared in the Evening Mail during his time with us.

I hope he sorts himself out but I'm not massively interested in hearing about him and his life I'm afraid.

And me.

Not really interested in the musing of a young man who was grossly overpaid for the modicum of talent he possessed, yet who frittered it all away.  Plenty of people, for whatever reason, have to start afresh during their 30s or 40s.  They do so without feeling the need to share their woes with the national press. And they also do so having not hope of ever enjoying the lifestyle of a top-flight footballer.

So seems he can't take a bit of stick from a wag in a crowd asking if he wants to borrow £20, was happy to ask Colchester players if they wanted to wash his Ferrari.
He's a cock, the interview reads exactly like all the other "I've learned my lesson, I've grown up, I'm going to change" interviews he has ever given.
As mentioned earlier, hard to feel sorry for someone driving around in a Q7, he must have really fallen on hard times.

Totally agree Dave. Although he was a bit of a twonk, I often don't get some of the stick that Lee seems to get from Villa Fans. He by and large always tried his best and celebrated all his goals as I would if I was playing for the Villa.

Good enough for me.

[peter w]

Good luck to him. I'll be keeping an eye on Tamworth's results whilst he's still there now.

[Karl Bridges]

I saw him out and about on a few occassions, he was always acting like a bellend. I used to see a few players out and about and all of them were sound but Lee just acted it up every time. That includes the first time I saw him out and he hadn't even played for the first team at that point.

Nothing wrong with being called a brummie, Lee. Embrace your heritage.

Can someone confirm whether i'm right in remebering that he was caught stealing at the club when he was 13 and on our books?
