Guly & Papa.
Love the pair of them.
Oh Östlund as well.
Mostly 'coz we share an aesthetic.

Oh ok Ulrich Van Gobbel then. Built like a quicker version of Wanyama, and a highlight for me was his brilliant 45-50 yard pass away at Newcastle which was hit first time by MLT on the half volley to score. Fouled as many people as he tackled, but fun to watch.

I once went to a pre-season friendly against Leyton Orient and was sat close to the tunnel (Brisbane Road was hardly packed). Seeing Dowie close up as he ran out for the match was a terrifying thing.

I once saw him and his Mrs in WHSmith in the Bargate and all I wondered was how the fuck regardless of being a footballer did he pull that?

Terry Hurlock. I used to love it when you saw him chasing someone after not getting a free kick that he felt he should have had… WOW!

I loved Hurlock as well to be fair, he was also a better footballer than many gave him credit for.
I remember the Palace fans after he joined them: “Only one Ian Dowie! One Ian Dowie! Ugly as fuck but he’s keeping us up, walking in a Dowie wonderland”

Steve Baker. Really nice bloke, so didn’t want to join in the hatefest after the nightmare against the skates.

I used to love watching Saganowski and Hajto play, especially if they managed their defence piercing Michael Palin passes 
In the days when I stood on a Milk Crate and wore a Duffel Coat with my gloves on strings through the sleeves I ran on the pitch at the end of a game and collected Ron Davies’ Tie Up’s that he had left in the Centre Circle when rolling his socks down on a particularly muddy day.
Got rollocked by Mum when I got home as my shoes were all muddy.

On saints web - Dig dog, my fav Russian Wrestler.
I was just thinking of you Bearsy. There’s a discussion on that forum about a Saints fanzines. IMO you need at least 6 or 7 writers, all of which need to have offbeat writing styles and opinions. You, Pap and Rallyboy immediately came to mind - apologies to others not listed who offer equally outstanding posts.
So what do say, can I put you down for a 400 word column on something like football sexual taboos?

I think the fanzine owner would have to take out a very large insurance policy to cover potential lawsuits if Bearsy was recruited!

Oh, TSW fav has got to be ART
Paul Telfer purely because his inclusion in the team would send the bloke in front of me into a frothing meltdown. We all use to go out of our way to praise every pass and tackle he made just to send this chap over the edge again.
