I used to teach Kenny Burns's son.

Did you ever suspect him of being a gambler or a shitter?

At the time he signed for us, I read an article by Kenny Burns (I also did not know that he could read and write) who said basically that Lansbury was a tosser and would not be missed.
At the time I thought, sour grapes.
Maybe not.

Ah, Mr Burns whose greatest achievement for the rags was flicking the V's at the Holte End. Flat faced prat.

Didn’t Kenny Burns once do a shit in the house of a poster on here? Can’t believe I’d dream such a thing.

My friend’s parents house


Kenny Burns son used to bet in the betting shop I managed in Alum Rock. There is a reasonably chance he once took a shit in the toilets there.

How desperate for a shit do you have to be to go in a bookies?!

A potential saleable asset otherwise keep and play him consistently in one position

i think to be honest, anything over 4m for him would be far too big to turn down for a player of his quality

Bjarnasson and Jedinak out, Marny in and Whelan left. You can see how this is going...

And his age.  At 30, it's not like he's going to improve much.

to be perfectly honest for most of his time with us Thor has been shite. When I first saw him play I thought he'd won some sort of fan competition to get on the pitch for a few minutes. He was like a Sunday League player - but I'd agree that his man marking job on Messi was great , notwithstanding  the help of several other players.

I thought he improved as the season went on  once he got settled.. I'd have liked to have seen him stay because there's a decent player in there for this level.

possibly but when Tone is in the position of having to sell his Grandma to pay for the postage stamps, it's not an option

He's another one that unsurprisingly looked better when Bruce played him in the right position.
