    Taken from Empire of Soccer - New York based footy site.
    No change there then.

    For the last few years he did exactly the same with us ... just hung around and went to training ... but we paid him tens of thousands a week to do so!

    Every time SWP was introduced to a football he fell over it, nice to pick up £60k a week for that...

    Now lads, we owe him (and Adel) for the Chelsea win. Hellishly expensive goal but there we have it - SWP's contribution to QPR!

    Scored a cracker against West Brom which was wrongly disallowed for offside but that just about summed up his time with us...

    Ex-footballer Terry Bradbury scoops Lotto jackpot

    My congratulations to him and his wife - similar story for SWP four years ago!


    please log in to view this image

    Terry Bradbury played for Leyton Orient in 1966
    A former Chelsea midfielder - who made £25 a week as a professional footballer in the 1950s - has scooped a £5.5m Lotto jackpot.

    Terry Bradbury, 75, played alongside Jimmy Greaves and Terry Venables in the late 1950s.
    Mr Bradbury, who also made appearances for Southend United, Leyton Orient and Wrexham, won £5,517,016 in Saturday's National Lottery draw.
    He and his wife Eleanor said they planned to buy a family villa in Spain.

    'Stress-free life'
    The pair, who live in Buxton, Derbyshire, told reporters they would use the winnings to provide security for their four sons and nine grandchildren.
    Mrs Bradbury, also known as Ann, said: "The villa will be a place where our family can always go to for holidays.
    "It is wonderful to think that none of our children will have a mortgage or any stress for the rest of their lives.
    "This win provides our family with security and this is what pleases Terry and myself more than anything."
    The couple, who used to run a pub in Tideswell, Derbyshire, said they bought their lucky dip ticket from a WH Smith in Buxton.
    Mr Bradbury told reporters the most he earned during his professional football career was £25 each week, getting a £4 win bonus and £2 for a draw.

    The couple said they wanted to spend the money on their family
    "I was getting about £20 for playing football but a tradesman was only getting £8 to £10, so it's all relative," he said.
    He said Jimmy Greaves was "the greatest goal machine I ever saw" but "ruthless" Dave Mackay was the hardest player he came up against.
    Asked about modern players, he said: "Good luck to them. You can't blame the sportsmen. If someone offered you another £1,000 a week you would go."
    Mr Bradbury said: "I had a good time at Chelsea, enjoyed every minute - all through my playing career. This is just the icing on the cake for Ann and I."

    It's "Ann and me".
    I saw this yesterday and was pleased for him despite the Chelsea connection. It's good when you know the money won't be wasted on trashy bling and vacuous fashion but will bring financial stability to a number of family units.

    As much as I'm genuinely happy for them both, the fact that they placed themselves in view of the public with such details beggars belief why people tell the world that they have won money.

    There was middle aged couple from southern England who own a music / record shop, who won something 200 million pounds or more, who said nothing will change them, where in fact divorced not long after. They were hounded out of their business and split not long after. Never go public.
