She will be in my head later. Sorry to involve you mate, but needs must and all that.
Bu......but.....she has kooky hair.
We once signed Jimmy Carter.
Steve Ogrizovic has 2 European Cup medals.
How did Nathan Baker not get a yellow(at least) for this?
The answer's in your motto, Gary.
The universe would have exploded if he won them with Coventry.
Did he win them with us?
Yes.
Haha. Not even quite sure what he does!
It's obviously a long-term obsession of mine, but: how the heck does this bloke hold down a job at Chelski after being rumbled as Ranieri's incompetent translator??
Looks like he is engaging in top #bantz with the lads, a valuable asset indeed.
Gary Staker's his name. He used to 'listen' to Ranieri waffling away in Italian, and then tell John Motson: 'He says it was a game of two halves'. Once the club rumbled him as completely unqualified to be a translator, I think he was made some kind of match day announcer, then after his high-pitched voice proved unwelcome doing that, they made him 'Player Liaison Officer'. Now he just seems to wear a blazer and stand next to the dug out on match days. It's like something George Costanza would get up to in Seinfeld!
"Player Liasion Officer". Sounds like he acts as a lookout for Terry on his team bonding trips.
Gary's funnier.
Here's a WTFx2:
Zimbabwe: President Mugabe Condemns Suarez
BY TAKUNDA MAODZA, 23 MAY 2013
IT was highly unprofessional for Liverpool forward Luis Suarez to bite Chelsea player Branislav Ivanovic as sporting events are contests and not a declaration of war, President Mugabe has said.
Last month Suarez sunk his teeth into Ivanovic's arm during a match at Anfield, attracting worldwide condemnation.
He was subsequently handed a 10 match ban by the Football Association.
The Head of State and Government and Commander-in-Chief of the Zimbabwe Defence Forces made the remarks after signing the Constitutional Bill into law at State House yesterday.

That would be screamingly funny if it weren't literally tragic.

Go Ahead Eagles originally called "Be Quick". Then changed to "Go Ahead". "Eagles" was added in 1971 by Wales-born coach Barry Hughes.
