Well worth a read http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...Holt-Ex-tyre-fitter-putting-skids-elite.html?
'He was still a tyre fitter back then in Carlisle and I remember him always asking for an extra hot dog from the lady in the kitchen.'
A great read and a real inspiration to any young footballer out there who thinks he's lost his chance. WFLGH
I'd just finished reading said article and was about to post a link, but you beat me to it dave. I was also going to mention the hot dogs SN23 ! Grant Holt - Legend, do you reckon the Binmen agree ?
Great read, cheers Dave. His is the kind of story that TV and film producers reject for being unrealistic. As has been said, he should be an inspiration to all players in lower or non-league football. Legend.
This man is a true inspiration! Despite his knock backs he has shown a real love for the game and determination to make a real impact on the football world. His mental toughness is outstanding and should be viewed as a bench mark for all young players. While people may claim he is not skilful or the most talented footballer in the world his mental attributes make up for this in a huge way. I would be so pleased for him to get and England cap and think he could actually do a decent job! How many foreign players have come up against a player like Holt? OTBC
It's an amazing read. He's the Rocky Balboa of Football, but theres much more to come from him. He's a natural goalscorer at every level and an England callup could happen very soon. He'll be held amongst the greatest Norwich city heroes, build him a statue. Lambert giving Holt a high five outside the Barclay
GRANT HOLT FOR ENGLAND! Plain and simple. Come on Capello, time to finish the story with a Euro Champs winner for the big man.
Is relegation to league one and Grant Holt getting an England call up signs of the Ipswich apocolypse? Because I'd get your tin helmet ready if I were you mate.
If Holt ever get's an England Cap I will run across the Portman Road Pitch naked apart from a picture of Delia stuck to my arse!
