Random Brede love

[YoungsBitter]

Below the line in today's Fiver from Grauniad:
"Sitting on a busy train from London Waterloo to East Sheen, I couldn't help but get a sense I knew the guy sitting opposite. Tall, elegantly dressed and diligently pencilling notes in a philosophy book, I realised I was in the presence of Brede Hangeland. We got talking, and I learned that Brede, playing for Crystal Palace at this stage, was on his way home from a game at Stoke, or somewhere like that. He proceeded to tell me he played 'like $hit', which was refreshing to hear instead of the usual clichés peddled by footballers. Was a gent" – Robert McGowan Stuart.

Warmed the cockles of my heart....
