    Well, he was on pittance when he left us, and was at his peak when wages started getting crazy, so yeah, I reckon you are right. Would love to see Gary's year by year income since 18! That would be very interesting.

    When he signed for Newcastle they paid him £40,000 a week. The reason I remember it was that I was working as a cocktail barman in Greece at the time in 1996 and we earned the same. Except mine was 40,000 drachma (about £160 back then) and his was pounds :)

    £40K always stands out for me as well, because that's what Rio Ferdinand got when he signed for Leeds.

    It was her right. She would have also been within her rights to demand that we sell every player and replace them all with 43 year old men named Gord, that our kits consist of fake tux tops and floral shorts, and that Staplewood be sold as the Gords will be trained in a children's playplace ball pit rather than on a pitch, and fed a strict diet of three pounds of sherbet a day. But what is within her rights is not necessarily in the best interests of the club.

    Was she ever likely to state otherwise? Words are like a desert wind. Hot air.

    Well, that's her problem. But don't cry when people criticize you.
    Better to say nothing, than BS the fanbase.

    I agree and I never suggested it was (best interest of club).

    By the way, I’m available under the description you gave :)

    Be forewarned: you don't get to choose your sherbet. It'll all be citrus flavours, however, because scurvy is not part of the Gordhampton Way.

    Lol I'll try to dig them out - still use it as my party trick now with all the throwing of bottles and shakers...was quite good at it even if I do say so myself :)

    My favourite was five metal shakers lined on the bar and used to have a bet with the customers that I could toss each one up in the air and catch it behind, then catch each subsequent one in the preceding shaker. I can still do it now...though then I could do it with a bottle of vodka inside me :)

    Thought that would be Shane's brace. That's been the biggest surprise to me!

    Did anyone notice on MOTD the other week when Shearer was asked if Saints could be top 10 next season, he didn`t even think, but said immediately - `No Chance`. He`s never struck me as having any affinity for Saints - maybe I`ve missed it.

    He's polite, but doesn't talk fondly about us. Sometimes sport is just business.

    I’ve heard him talk fondly of us before.
