Lee Hendrie On The Magic Sponge Podcast.

I call bullshit as having double checked, we never played QPR while SGTII was manager and in 02/03 (the full season under SGTII) Hendrie played in 27 league games.

We played at Loftus Road.

Lost to Fulham I think?

[PeterWithesShin]

Forgot they went there, we lost 2-1. Hendrie started 5 of the next 6 league games.

[villan from luton]

If it was bullshit, quite apt coming out on a programme hosted by the so witty Jimmy "cheeky chappy" Bullard, total arse

I was there, that useless twat Jon Harley scored a 45 yard screamer.

As someone that often defends Hendrie he can roundly fuck off in this case.

[peter w]

Yeah, I'm a big fan of Lee Hendrie. disappointed if this is as it sounds.

[Dave P]

If memory serves, and without checking, wasn't Fulham away at Loftus Road the game or two before the infamous "Cnut night"?

[PeterWithesShin]

Yep, we lost 3-0 at Charlton between the Fulham and sha games.

[dave.woodhall]

Fulham was one of those games we often see - poor start to the season, pick up a bit of form, think we've cracked it then an unexpected setback and everything falls apart.

I seem to recall Hendrie being one of our better players that season. At least for a few purple patches. You rarely got consistency from him.
I think if he did indeed say all that on Bullards show, it's probably a case, like all of those kind of ladz bantz programmes, of people being overly snarky to fit in with the rest. It's that man-child, school playground mentality and probably exaggerating for effect. It's the lowest form of "entertainment" devoid of any wit. But there's always that corner in the pub, on a friday night of rowdy 20 somethings finding everything thoroughly amusing, and with about 3 brain cells between them who find that shit funny. Hendrie, and Bullard and probably 90% of English footballers would be in those groups on a saturday had they not made it in the game.

It's not worth getting annoyed about. Hendrie will never grow up, but he's not the first, nor will he be the last, top flight footballer who is a bellend.

Graham Taylor - widely respected throughout football, not least for his dignified behaviour post-England.

Lee Hendrie - "Isn't he that Villa player who used to get into trouble a lot? Didn't he try to kill himself when he was made bankrupt?"

The orange bloke?

[Lucky Eddie]

Did Lee get sent off on his debut at QPR? Christmas 96? Anyone remember the score?

Lost 1-0, iirc Spink came off the bench and had to play up front at the end.

23/12/95. Hendrie came off the bench and got a straight red. Ray Wilkins was playing for QPR and was trying to get the ref to let him him stay on.

I was about to say the very same. I drove back from Paris overnight for this game as we were coming home for Xmas and it was mighty frustrating - Ludo Miklosko had one of those games where he stopped everything we threw at him. Wilkins did indeed act like a sportsman too.
