I would have said to the guy - like the way you score your goals - let's improve your overall contribution and you have a big future here my son And you know - they used to say the same about Jimmy Greaves - 'he does nothing for 89 minutes and then pops up to score a goal and win the game...' - lazy git.

Hornbloweroafc Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Was it Keith Gumbs? I remember going to an away game and we was all chanting his name thinking we where going to sign him! Unfortunately he couldnt get a work permit (St Kitts and Nevis international). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
