Kathy 733 Posted July 7, 2011 Can I refer you to Chris Goreham''s joke, the morning after we signed him.Paul Lambert was in two minds whether to sign him or a recently retired Man Utd defender. In the end he decided it was ''better De Laet than Neville''. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
