Alas, poor fellow.Eduardo wore it well until he had his foot chopped off
By the way, do you remember Alan Smith signing for us and then playing for Leicester City at Highbury, having been loaned back to them? I don't.

I don't remember that, no. Alan Smith didn't really ring my bell, to be honest. I've never been a fan of the 'on me 'ead son' sort of centre forward. I like a chap who can, you know, play football.
If you don't mind, I shall pretend you didn't just say that, so we may remain friends

I do remember that... and Alan Smith had a great touch... set up MT winning goal at Anfield, cracking CWC final goal.

Yes. What Alan Smith did for us is the hardest thing to do in football; two best goalscorer awards, each in title-winning seasonsWell, no. I like footballers who are good at football
