    We seem to be looking at young French players at the moment. We seem to have had a lot of success over the years with French players too. In fact we have had 22 players from France in our sides. I also remember Thierry Henry also used to speak highly of us. Now we have French ownership too. I wonder if we have some natural things in common.

    Anyway, favourite and best French player?

    My fav is Perez - real character he was. Hair everywhere, sleeves rolled up to his shoulders. Class.

    Best is Malbranque. Great footballer.

    Eric Roy was a tremendous player. Manager somewhere now I think.

    Speakman is certainly proving his doubters wrong this season. Hes playing an absolute blinder in our recruitment
