Still bored with all the Michael Jackson shit and i found this...Why did Tony have to get old he is just what we could do with now: Leader, Strong, Brave, Talented (ok more so later on in his career) and loved the club!!!
Les Ferdinand
Who was the toughest defender you ever faced?
Patrick Hunt, Bushey
Probably Tony Adams. Whenever I came up against a defender I’d assess where I could beat them. If he was good in the air, I’d think that my pace in behind would give me the edge. If he was quick, chances were, I could probably out jump him. But Tony Adams would drop off and get himself into position where it was difficult to beat him either in the air or on the ground. Also, my era of playing against Tony Adams was when the defenders were allowed to come through the back of you. And Tony Adams was never shy of coming through the back of you. When the laws changed to stop the tackle from behind, at first, defenders where allowed one bite of the cherry before being booked. As a forward, when the ball was coming towards you, you would stand there thinking, ‘Here it comes.’ Soon as he’d tackled you from behind, he’d get up, point to Steve Bould and say, ‘Now it’s your turn.’

My old boss used to live very close to Winterburn and their kids went to school together. After the 98 double success, A*** my boss and Nigel spoke quite a lot and one tale Nigel told him was about the Everton game when...well we all know about that game. Anyway apparently when Bouldy came on Adams said, “Come on Uncle Bouldy we'll make room forâ€

My physio used to be a trainee at Arsenal. Played in goal while TA6 was at the club. The first time he saw TA6 in a training session, he thought he was the coach, as he seemed to be far more mature than all the others.
It was obvious to him that this was no ordinary player.
