When he retired he set up a private detention centre.  Channel 4 made a documentary about it called The Prisoner of Zenga.  Elvis sang the theme song.  Return to Zenga.

Can't believe people don't remember the Spice Girls first single was about him. Zenga Zenga Zenga Zeg a Zeg a Zeg ha!

No, but I do have vague memories of the Holte End giving him 2 or 3 minutes of "Zenga, show us your arse, Zenga, Zenga show us your arse."

First time for everything.  Shut up Brian.  Hmmmm?
Sorry. I read a lot of what you write and thought you'd get my sense of humour but I obviously don't write enough. 217 posts I'll have you know over the last eleven years.

No offence taken.  I have made too many friends on here to be resentful. If I offend, bore or outrage it is not intentional.

Oh and he's dismissing any chance of Ayew leaving.

deal done by the weekend then

Why do you say that?

didnt he say that gana was staying? and clark?

Still, good news about McCormack isn't it?

No, he said the opposite about Gana actually - that his release clause had been triggered and there was nothing we could do about it.

Mmmm, not the Wanlin group they were convinced it was is it?

Could be a good thing if Dr T out of national pride feels he needs to outperform his compatriots.

Read that in a Mark E Smith style and it makes more sense-ah.
