Claret Blue and Green
He's a 'hard man' in the image of the 'edgy' one they'd have in 90's boy bands, and yes is very much poster boy for that outfit.
In other "the future's bright" news, the U21s including Bellingham Jr, Lewis-Skelly, Nwaneri, Dibling, Rico Lewis et al needed a 90th minute penalty to get a 1-1 draw with Andorra U21s.
I’m absolutely fascinated by professional footballers who are disinterested in the sport other than the money. I’m sure all of us on here remember being obsessed with the game from early childhood, playing headers and volleys at school, playing in weekend leagues etc. and dreaming of playing for the Villa.Then you have greats like Gabriel Batistuta, who would have rather been playing polo and couldn’t be arsed with football outside of matches. Told his biographer that there’s not much point in talking about his career because all of the numbers are already available. Or Christian Vieri who told a load of French journalists at the 1998 World Cup that his sporting idol was Allan Border to widespread confusion and a few years later said he would pack up football altogether if he could get the same contract playing cricket. At least they were honest that it was all about money but to get to that level of football and to not even be that arsed about it means they must have been extraordinarily talented.
On the other hand you could have earned a lucrative and enjoyable living as a contract assassin.
Didn't Graham Taylor say that Mellberg treated football as just a job and wasn't particularly interested in it?
