Benoit Assou-Ekotto was another one. He used to get the tube to the ground, apparently he ate a croissant and a bag of crisps for breakfast and he didn't even know or care who they were playing against that week. He always said he just played football because he was good at it and it paid well.
Oooo, have thatI don't think so. Evemcc was referring to someone who was good at football
. Very effective player. Knew his limitations, knew his own game, did it very wellOooo, have that
Yeah I think that's fair. Every team in that era had one 'destroyer' in the midfield. Nowadays things have moved on and every player needs a modicum of ability, even the keeper, let alone the holding midfielder.
I wonder if matey who started this thread with his big announcement has checked back in on incognito mode to see that we have brushed that off to talk about David Batty.
So do I. The forum is nothing but an online version of the clubhouse after a round, after all.
I can attest to this, currently unemployed trying to change careers to something I'm more interested in because "you're good at maths and accountants make good money, you should be an accountant, we won't support you to do anything with golf and have to go to study accountancy..."
I did that back in 2022. Absolutely nothing changed afterwards.
Ouch, that's bad news. I thought my +7 on the same course on Sunday was an outlier to this 'new normal' of mine
I've also done this. It now hangs like an albatross in the middle of my 20 scores in the EG tracker preventing me getting the couple of shots a round that the other 19 rounds prove that I need!!
I once shot 1 over on the front 9 during a proper tournament. I was off handicap 20 at the time. Proceded to have a full blown lunch at the turn, people talking me up about how much my handicap would go down if I shot level par etc. Then proceded to shoot 13 over on the second 9.... Golf huh.. The course was the Dachstein Tauern golf course in Austria. Lovely place.Well done - great effort
I once shot 1 under par for 9 holes. Unfortunately I was 15 over for the front 9. And it was a 9 hole course so I can't say the front 9 was harder. That's golf!
Did similar couple of months back, -2 at the turn. Feeling good, got the groove on, thinking I was the man.Well done - great effort

This was my first ever competition. The handicap secretary must have been scratching his head how to work out my handicapWell done - great effort

Didn't he leave Spurs because he wanted to be a pornstar?
I've not heard that - he played for a couple of French clubs after us.
