I'm glad you name-checked him; had no idea who he was!

Ex Sheffield United keeper Paddy Kenny didn't seem too enamoured with Olsen at the time we were sniffing around:

"I can’t see him getting back in the team and I wasn’t impressed with him when he did play. That’s just my opinion. Get him gone and get him off the wage bill and that gives us the chance to get someone else in. That person can actually be of use to us instead of sitting on the bench doing nothing. It’s a case of getting rid of a player who isn’t contributing and having the opportunity to bring in a quality player. It just makes sense to me."

Paddy's a pisshead with an angrier red face than Pickford.

He’s shit.  The name Olsen should only be associated with speedway.  So get him te feck.

Yeah I'm old school. I particularly like "gormless gonk" which  sums up his "performance" at Old Trafford.

Whenever i hear the word 'gonk' i still, 40 years later, think of Neil's description of sitting an exam in the Young Ones.

Quote
I sat in the big hall and put my packet of polos on the desk, and my spare pencil and my support gonk and my chewing gum and my extra pen, and my extra polos and my lucky gonk, and my pencil sharpener shaped like a cream cracker and three more gonks with a packet of polos in each, and lead for my retractable pencil and my retractable pencil, and my spare lead for my retractable pencil, and chewing gum and pencils and pens and more gonks and the guy said "Stop writing please."!
