    I thought our League Cup winning left back was last seen living in a park surrounded by empty wine bottles.

    I really wish the club would sort it out. We can afford to pay current players 350k a week, but we can't afford £200 to rent a former skipper a one bed in Hackney. Disgrace.

    The real tragedy there of course was that he was drinking Mateus Rosé.

    It's just sort of... good. You know. Imagine you've been using a Weber Kettle for years. It's a fine barbecue. It's the Alan Smith of barbecues. One day you get to play with a Kamado Joe, and you realise you're cooking with Dennis Bergkamp. That's the difference.

    ISTR that the club have helped him out on occasions, and £200 won't go far, even in Hackney.

    Oh yes, I keep meaning to try that and I keep forgetting.

    They did - he was employed by the club as one of the legends tour hosts for a while, for a start. He now works for Crystal Palace and does media work - he doesn't live in a park surrounded by wine bottles (NTTAWWT). Aside from that the CLUB ARE A DISGRACE

    I think the glw would lose the plot if spent that on a BBQ, am very tempted though. Cheaper than the green egg.

    God, I'd forgotten that bit. Must have blanked it out. I didn't even know they still make the stuff.

    As you can imagine, I frequented some really run-down offies in search of my Spesh, but I'm sure I haven't seen a bottle of Mateus Rose since the '80s. They all have vile Californian pîss, but none have stooped as low as MR.

    I recently went for an Indian meal with a couple who were keen to show us their local.. as the poppadams were being served, amid a great shoulder of winking and grinning, the waiter proudly displayed the bottle. "Your special wine as usual madam!" She was positively squealing with delight.

    Yes, it was Mateus Rosé.

    I drank it. Fúck it, I have no pride.

    When you say recently, did you mean 42 years ago?

    p.s. a Dennis Bergkamp of grills? It could turn a Greggs sausage roll into a 3* plate of food.
