7rew 0 Posted March 20, 2007 In the Guardian today: (Sport, page 5)This, after all, is a young man boasting a nice line in self-deprication who recently admitted "I''d like to be a Thierry Henry-type player but I''m actually closer to Darren Huckerby."What are we supposed to make of that?

Hardhouse44 261 Posted March 20, 2007 He thinks he''s good but not that good. Sound fair to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YankeeCanary 0 Posted March 20, 2007 That his professional aspiration is to model himself on Henry but in his personal life he prefers a more intimate realtionship with Darren??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
San Miguel 0 Posted March 20, 2007 maybe he means his temper - Henry hardly ever loses his temper, whereas good old Hucks loses his at least once a matchhe could even be referring to wages! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the son of doc 0 Posted March 20, 2007 maybe he means the fact that he can try as hard as he likes to be henry... but he cant get past the fact hes not french. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evil Monkey 52 Posted March 20, 2007 Maybe he''d rather have a neat, shaved head but is instead cursed with a dodgy barnet? Someone should point him in the direction of some clippers... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlyBlyBabes 0 Posted March 20, 2007 How about ''Huckerby is the poor man''s Henry''. Pretty high praise I would think. Rather like ''Gascoigne was the poor man''s Maradona".Chin up Dazza.OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alan_Grey 0 Posted March 20, 2007 Is this really a new quote? I actually read that quote from David Nugent in an old issue of four-four-two magazine in a doctor''s waiting room. It was during the 2004-05 season... Either the Guardian are recycling or Nugent said it again. Not that it really matters! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

macdougalls perm 0 Posted March 21, 2007 From what I have seen of him, Nugent is nowhere near as good as Huckerby. Still I suppose he can dream. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
