We're nowhere near 1980s levels of banter though, are we?

He was actually rather good, Dennis.

Watching the current team versus that lot from the late nineties makes you want to pull your eyes out...

He was a very talented kid who perhaps thought he had made it too soon, and suffered the pitfalls of same.

He was not the first nor will he be the last. Bentley for instance a very obvious one. We have a new shiny star almost every summer, a Jeff or a Zelalem, young kids that adults who frankly should know better get excited about. Most fall by the wayside.

I recall reading a story about Hughes when he went to Fulham, perhaps on loan, and was horrified to find that his training gear was not duly collected on day 1 and washed/laundered/returned in pristine condition for day 2. Now I expect journalistic licence played a part here as no footballer at that level washes their own gear but it was used to illustrate the gaping difference between the pampered surroundings of AFC and lesser clubs.

Do you buy your shoes from John Lobb? Around £2,200 and a six-month wait.

No. I always fancied having a pair of boots built by Lobb, but never got around to it. My days of such indulgences are over now that I am saving hard for retirement.

Jeff Brockley cost us the 1973 Cup semi-final and denied us revenge against Dirty Leeds. Useless ****er

Sorry. Whilst I do know you don't go in for this sort of thing, I just couldn't resist :-\
