Enjoyed that. I always thought they stitched him up for money and that's why it never worked out. Be interested to know if they treated the other glamour signings the same.

Good piece. He comes across well, although his lack of initiative when left stranded in the wrong part of town is slightly worrying.

Good stuff. That must have been a pretty scary experience in amongst the nice stuff.

Thanks for posting.

Wonder if his foot-drilling gets a mention.

His autobiography has just been released.  Going to get it.

He only had it for sale on website initially, now it's been rolled-out on general release with some press to go with it.
Guess he thought it more lucrative that way but I'd be surprised if his own website gets many hits generally.

Will always be a legend for me for posing for the media boarding the plane leaving for the World Cup with his Mom.
