Two lads well able to use their ass to shield the ball! It's a close call but SJM showed great versatility and quality last season to get us into the CL. Interesting to hear Richards talk about Barry on the MOTD Golden Boot episode. Reckoned Barry liked the bevvy and was last to leave the bar,, but first into training without it affecting him.Apparently that was a factor in Fergie keeping Robson of the three boozers, alongside McGrath and Whiteside. His ability to sink prodigious amounts of beer and still be at the front in all training exercises the following day was legendary - amongst those that give a shit about Manyoo.Robson used to run a pub team in West Bromwich, the Four in Hand IIRC, and was well known for his drinking ability in there.

Both Barry and Grealish are amongst the highest spenders at Bushwackers Birmingham after party on a Saturday night.
