Title: Which player?
Post by: TightEnd on July 24, 2013, 10:12:54 AM
I was at a pre-season friendly last night

I sat next to a Premiership player - current - who spent the whole game with beats on plugged into his apple mac. Can't have watched 5 minutes of the game (understandable enough)

I have a pic of the said player with a steward, date and time stamped


How many guesses to name that player? I will answer yes or no only

An observation first--

I can't understand why anyone bothers to go to pre season friendlies

They are completely pointless as viewing spectacles.

In 45 years I've only been to one - when QPR played my fathers/brothers (Portsmouth) team for the first time in my lifetime.

Now the the question.

Is he 30 or over?

Stoke are on a US Tour but Jermaine, who started pre-season late and isn't fit, is on a week training camp with the U21s who are playing Bedford Town, Watford and Northampton whilst staying and training at Moulton Colelge Northampton

We had him on loan at Watford during the Vialli debacle.  He was about 19 then and was amazing.  Shame he never fully developed into the player he could have.  Strange how that happens.

Agree.

I might do a "what bridge is this?" one, too. That'd go down well.

I will give him some credit considering he was "famous" at about 15 he is still at a premier league club 15 years on something i did not think was likely and is quite rare with the boy wonders.

He was on a ridiculous amount of money for a 16 year old even back then
