Is Owen still worth a gamble? 5:44pm on 15 Jun 2009 '120k a year' - if only! I reckon he could end up at West Ham or maybe Celtic...?
From joy to despair 12:50pm on 15 Jan 2009 Yes, beathollow92, good one, Klinsmann dive was good, and I remember a Michael Owen slapping his head after scoring in response to a bald guy who'd been giving him stick all game. And Ginola's 'shirt off and flex' in FA Cup after wonder goal v Barnsley...

But I still reckon Gazza's 'dentist's chair' (aided by Sheringham) after Euro 96 goal v Scotland (having flicked ball over head of Pat Butcher look-a-like Colin Hendry). That was a real 'up yours!' to the media who'd been giving the team stick in the build up to the tournament...
From joy to despair 10:59am on 15 Jan 2009 Nice blog again Gavin. Tales like yours remind us being a professional footballer isn't all about WAGs, writing off flash cars and multi-million pound transfers. Have you read the excellent 'Left foot forward: A year in the life of a journeyman footballer' by Garry Nelson? It's far easier for us ordinary fans to relate to than ghosted autobiographies from the likes of Wayne Rooney!

Best celebration I saw was probably Gazza's 'dentist chair' in Euro 96 v Scotland, though I guess as a Scot you may disagree...

Hope hamstring injury isn't too bad by the way.
Redknapp takes Spurs crash course 00:23am on 30 Oct 2008 4-4. Now that's entertainment. As a Spurs fan I'd have settled for that earlier tonight, and certainly this time last week! I was in the 'give Ramos more time' camp - we gave Jol the push too early - but good old 'Arry has definitely shaken things up since last Saturday night. I'll gladly wager large sums of cash with any muppet who reckons Spurs will still go down...any takers?
