LEE SHARPE

From Man Utd. (no, Torquay - Ed) to Garforth in the Northern League, via the world; to Celebrity Wrestling and Celebrity Love Island, Lee’s life during and after football was booze, birds and the devil take the hindmost. But it looks like they got to him!

Is this the same loveable Lee, the most regular recipient of Fergy’s hairdryer, or is it the lobotomised product of the BBC school of football punditry. The analogy with Ken Kesey’s character, McMurphy is.. (shutup – Ed). OK. It’s bland, blandy, bland, bland, shite. That’s what it is.



FOOTBALL FOCUS 18/03/06

On suggestions that West Ham would field an understrength side against Portsmouth.
Yeah, these arguments come round this time of the year all the time don’t they about who plays a strong team who plays a weakened team erm I’m I’m sure that errr you know that that both both teams out there will be will be strong enough to win the game and err both managers will be out there to win.

Ed’s note - Jesus Lee, even Pardew admitted he was resting six first-pick players ahead of Monday’s FA Cup tie.


On Alan Curbishley and Stuart Pearce sharing the England job
Errr, well the they’re certainly gonna bring a bit of a freshness to err to England they they’re both sort of pretty young managers erm and I er there’s still a few names in the frame. I’m I’m sure there’s a few twists n’ turns before the end of the season but err who knows. I think they’ll make alot of people happy that that appoint.


On Dunfermline’s approach to the game against Celtic
Errr I think theya they’ve nothing to lose. I think they go out there to enjoy the game they they get at Celtic they make sure they they don’t give ‘em time to settle on the ball err they put errr you know they run their legs off n’ n’ bust a gut n’ give it all they’ve got and they’ve got a chance.

(Ed’s note - Celtic 3, Dunfermline 0)


On Henri
Errr well I think if Arsenal don’t finish top four and err they don’t end up winning the European Cup then errr I think it’s going to be very tough to hold on to him err y’know he’s he’s one of the top three centre forwards in the world and he wants to play on the biggest stage and if err if they can’t get into Europe then it’s going to be tough for ‘em.


On Jimmy Johnston
Yeah, I mean some some great skills and err..i I think it’s what the fans all wanna watch. Its entertaining, its exciting err he he gets people on the edge of their seat erm I’m a little bit young myself to remember. The boys probably remember (interrupted by a “yeah yeah” from Lawrensono and paroxysms of laughter from all)

Eds Note: And the rest was just as rotten. So next time you’re on the box for the Beeb Lee, take an E, get pissed and put us
on the edge of our seat erm.
