  1. Think my best ones were Wenger/Seaman after a friendly and also Alan Shearer which someone got me when I was about 9 or 10.

    For me personally, being the sad thing that I am, when I met and got Westlife''s autographs last year that tops most things. But less said about that the better!

  2. [quote user="bluemike"]Unfortunately he wont be going anywhere, our luck is not that good. he will probably decide to walk out on us once he has totally fooked our club up ! The worst thing about it is that looking at our remaining fixtures we will in all probability stay up and have to endure another season of dross with hollow promises, shit signings and crap football, until such time as he does do the walk of shame or Evans finally grasps a little bit of footballing knowledge and fires him, either way, Roy Keane, you are the weakest link !! GOODBYE !![/quote]

    Blue Mike - that sounds very familiar to what we have had to endure the last few seasons, up until this season in League 1 anyway.

  3. As people have said, it''s really a case of supply and demand.  There''s a relatively small supply of footballers good enough to be pro''s, but the demand for them is almost constant.  I know it''s questionable that Cureton for example was worth his 5k a week, but I guess - when we got him, having just won the Championship Golden Boot with Colchester, scoring 23 goals he was going to get a decent wage, because it ain''t easy to find a player who had that record so naturally the wage got pushed up as he knew we needed someone with his record (at that time).

    Are footballers wages any different to say popstars and actors?  Most of which (maybe with the exception of popstars who have to put in a lot of promotion) get far much more money than for the work they have to put in (i.e. apparently Brad Pitt get''s up to 30 million per film).  Just the nature of the entertainment industry - even at a lower level - if a decent number of people want to pay to watch them, they are always going to earn more than us mere mortals.
