Prancing, nancy-boys with almost no talent.

Why don't they train monkey's to play, they could perform to at least the same standard with good coaching.

And they might be able to drive Range-Rover Sports at least as well in time.

And not forgetting that really talented player are 'geniuses'. I mean you only have to look at all those doctorates and honorary degrees they are awarded and those books and scientific papers they have written to realise that fact.

On the other hand, last night Zak Whitbread was knocked clean out, yet got up to carry on and give a sterling performance.

Try telling that to "Chopper" Harris, "Bite yer legs" Norman Hunter, "Lee one pen" Francis Lee, "Anfield Iron" Tommy Smith, Stuart Pearce, Vinny Jones or Dave Mackay....

Goalkeepers Dave Beasant and Santiago Canizares both dropped glass bottles and damaged their feet attempting to 'control' them as they fell. Canizares' bottle contained aftershave, while Beasant's was full of salad cream.

I always do this!

I try and 'control' stuff if I drop it. Never hurt myself, though!

Whitbread st Becchio up as he was laying there motionless with 'cyber eyes'(fair play to some of the leeds players for calling for attention)then when Whitbread finally came too and was walked to the line he can be seen mouthing "I aint going off, I aint going off".

Or maybe just a fully committed competitor, like Stuart Pearce, Trautman, Butcher and Robson, to name a few.

Trauttman got an Iron Cross and an OBE.
A fairly unique medal collection, one would think?

They're still out there...occasionally.
Dion Dublin played out the last couple of years of his career for my team and was still the same committed battling pro he always was.
Unlike some of the examples above he wasn't a thug either.

Suffered 2 broken legs and a broken neck during his career and played with a titanium joint in his neck for the last 8 years or so.
Never deliberately harmed an opponent, yet anyone who saw him play would agree he was a tough cookie.
