    Qpr had a great one, Onesize for Fitz Hall and the other one that really springs to mind was the Basketball player Karl Malone, the mailman because he always delivers

    Probably been done before but well, **** it

    here's a terrible song about him, kind of how I imagine HIAG to sound.

    Ron "Chopper" Harris.

    If he had a nickname like that, in the 70s, he must have been pure filth. Bite your legs, was a good nickname too, bless his soul.

    Did a corporate day at OT paid it as was meant to meet Robbo. He was ill. They sent Clayton instead. I was gutted. He was orange as well. He did tell some funny stories mind.

    A mate of mine (the Norbo in last week's pic of the week as it goes) used to bump into him in a chippy and give him proper grief for being ****. While pissed, obviously.

    He was ok I guess, but when you consider the upgrades in his position we had after him, he stands out for his limitations.

    He was no Irwin or Evra!

    No, was left back.

    Became a bit of a utility player under Ferguson once Irwin had been signed, probs played in midfield here and there. Fergie also gave Lee Martin a go ahead of him at left back, clearly as he appreciated just how **** Clayton was.
