Benjam!n Ultra Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Probably not as entertaining as his article in the Post 2 or 3 months ago stating Matty Taylor was worth £15m, on the basis Kodjia was too, and that Rovers shouldn't consider anything less.

Calculus Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 It's not often that someone puts the name of the actual writer (Leo Moynihan) on the cover of his 'autobiography'. Never understand how he gets to be a pundit on both broadcast and print media, his Matt Taylor valuation and regular opposition to safe standing being particularly good examples of his work.

Possibly still do.

In fairness, one of Leroy's knees were so shot that he basically had to teach himself to run again and needed to develop a style that reduced wear & tear on his joints. Pitman just has a fat arse.

TBF, I think he had a point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was on Talksport yesterday talking about the book Apparently there's some accounts of real targeted racism when he was a young player at Fulham He said he has decided not to name any person he outed in the book as those people might be different people now and he felt it unfair to name them ( Which I thought was pretty decent tbh ) Trying to rack my mind back to that team and think of the big personality ( Mark Aizlewood is my initial thought ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As his right leg came up it seemed to flick out to the side and then down. Not so bad when jogging but in full sprint it just looked really weird.

Port Said Red Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 2 minutes ago, Olé said: Nope - he is mentioned alongside him: Strange, was Andy LLewellyn the only Andy in the squad (other than Andy (call me Andrew) Cole at the time? I heard all sorts of stories about the time that Cole was here, training on his own, having his own personal physio and things like that. The idea that the colour of his skin was part of the problem seems strange considering at the time we had, Leroy, Allison, Junior, Gerry Harrison and I think we also had Terry Connor as well, thats just the ones I can think of, so it's not like he would have stood out.
