Quality story but my goodness, what a shocking website that is.Ex-Premier League monster who chomped wine glass quit football for cage fighting
Most football hardmen like to assert their dominance via a bust-up or naughty challenge but one Leicester defender proved his worth by eating glass when out for a meal with the rest of the squadwww.dailystar.co.uk
Wouldn’t expect the Star to have a high quality digital presence, honestly
What do you mean you wanted to “read” the article?
The very same
Ahhhh him and Jordan Stewart down the left, at Quorn in a preseason friendly, with Martin Allen as manager. How excited and naive I was.
And Jimmy Casino in goal. How did it go so wrong?
All the things you just said
I mean, yeah. But at the time it felt so right. Damn, the innocence of youth.
Wasn’t Sylla gone by then? Sure he left before Martin Allen arrived.
I can’t remember. My memory is of the dynamic left hand side pairing of Stewart & Sheehan, with Jimmy in goal and Allen shouting at them. That’s pretty much all I’ve got from that day.
Did we have a team at Oadby Town on the same day, or was that another year?
Very likely. We had enough right backs to play several games simultaneously.
