    A mate told me that when Fraser Forster went from Celtic to Saints, Stocksfield Juniors got £100k as part of the deal and have now invested this in state of the art 4G pitches.

    Does anyone know if this is a standard thing in a contract or if it’s Forster wanting to look after the club which developed him?

    Either way it’s a great gesture all round I’m sure you’ll agree.

    I remember the story that Spurs bought Gazzas family a house to get him to sign for them
    It's a underhanded brown envelope if you know what I mean

    Most likely still goes on
