Jesus christ!!

He was a bit of a decent journeyman as well! Has anyone got the recent pictures of Ronaldo (the Brasilian one) as well?

I remember my mate saying he saw Claus Jensen a couple of months after he retired with us due to injury in a pub, smoking and drinking. Making up for lost time I'd imagine..

Shipperly has always looked fat, but no mistaking he is way bigger than me there. He's well known to a fair few Northolt, and they all say when he was getting the you fat bastard taunts, if he'd have taken his top off it was pure muscle. Had Ray lew helping out at Carlshalton ? For a while after Hughes took over, let's just say Lewington isn't the most discreet (i think a few already know that) and Shipperly isn't either. Got to know a few things i cant repeat on here .

I was eating in a restuarant in Menorca and John barnes walked in, This was the same week as the Grimsby away play off, i know this for a fact because i told Kaz if we get through i'm going back for the final (she wasn't happy), anyhow he was effing massive. The best bit was his misses who walked in as if her censored didn't smell, making sure everyone noticed her in her over the top everything, found it very amusing to discover he was banging anything with a pulse a few months later. Oh as i got more drunk i think i may have been overheard slagging him off  :dft012:

It is one of my favorite pass times actually... just amuses that heck out of me though peoples bad health amusing me is probably wrong on many levels... Will anyone ever compare to the great Diego though?

I thought that was Jan Molby for a second. He put the pounds on whilst playing
