You sure about that Rob? I remember when he signed (for a record fee?) but his basic problem was that he just couldn't settle here.

You could be right but didn't he move to Portsmouth of all places ?

Also like Walcott he rather liked seeing his photo on the front page of the papers rather than the back. Whatever his problems he wasn't forever crying off injured every 5 minutes and I vividly recall him dispossessing George Best at Highbury, when we took on the Mancs. To a great cheer.

Yeah Portsmouth! Bless. Where he turned into an injury monkey like Theo

Peter Marinello! Fucking hell - there's a name from the past. The southern answer to Best.

Champagne Charlie was the same. Fucking big time but pretty fucking useless too! But he did scuff those two goals into the back of the mouser net in the LC final in 87 so gotta love him for that!

Although nowdays his second would probably be put down to a Ronnie Whelan OG!

(and gotta love him for the CN mullet we all wore back then)

Hmmm, he was a bleeding bottle job also, that's why he also got so many niggly injuries. I can recall a game against West Ham at Highbury a 0-0 draw, where he bottled out of a tackle to such an extent that he got injured and carried off. If he had gone in, full blooded, he would have been fine. (I can't remember their player in the incident though)

The old saying Frank - the player that pulls out gets injured. Seen it hundreds of times.

Haha!

Frankslop.

No - never got injured pulling out of a tackle as I've never pulled out of a tackle once committed.

To quote our Geordie friends - "Ah'm noot a poof, like!"

I got injured pulling my tackle out once.

I think it was a piece of rogue sweetcorn that got stuck behind my helmet.......

Iâ€™m almost certain one of these days weâ€™re gonna see #5 on London Tonight being arrested for whipping his Johnson out in the middle of Harvester & dipping it into the sweetcorn tray at the salad bar.

Are you sure youâ€™re not getting confused with that time Frank got arrested for loitering at the salad bar with a Sheldonslop tossing the Spud salad?

That's the time I was thinking of!! The amount of people hospitalised by Spuddy's "special salad dressing"!!!
