    Shown last night but just caught up with this on BBC iPlayer. Never a Swans player but Big John's story deserves telling. What a guy. Sadly omitted from this program but I remember him getting some real stick from our fans at the Vetch playing for West Ham when we beat them in the cup a long while back. Think Lampard played too.

    Oh and if you can't watch the whole 58 mins fast forward to 49.00 mins where he has a controversial but interesting comment about our lovely neighbours. :)

    What a fighter, and truly one of our own. <applause>

    Didn't mention them because I swear that oldsparkey guy has software that detects it. Oops, that's probably done it. <laugh>

    Lampard is a good player and we gave him a few games in the first team but to call him one of our own is a joke....<laugh>

    Thought that reference to 'Big John' might have told you I wasn't talking about Lampard. Oh sorry that was your attempt at humour. <doh>
