I thought Kevin Drinkell's contribution as the pundit on RH yesterday was excellent. As a top class striker himself, he had a lot of sympathy for our front men who he felt were getting poor service. For much of the game, he felt that the high balls forward were putting defenders at an advantage, and that they really needed to be dropped 2 or 3 yards short of the receiver. It was especially interesting that he described Scott Vernon as a "player's player" whose contribution is under appreciated by the fans. Although inevitably impressed by Omar, he seemed to rate Sean Pearson's performance as outstanding.

Got to agree, Drinkell was fantastic, especially just before our 2nd as he was making a comment on thier keeper and what he would do, followed up immediately by Town doing exactly as he said


I don't mind Roy Keane making £60,000 a week. I was making the same when I was playing. The only difference was I was printing my own - Mickey Thomas

The area you are trying to protect at corners is the goal - Chris Kamara

I once said Gazza's IQ was less than his shirt number and he asked me: What's an IQ? - George Best

Yes, he was uncannily correct on a lot of things but that shows what a good football brain he has.

Impressive considering he has managed in Scotland    

Seriously though Kevin  Drinkell is my all time favourite player in a Town shirt.


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

Hugely astute commentary which I really enjoyed. Very down to earth guy who now sells Mercedes!

I teased all my Norwich colleagues in Suffolk at work today about that - saying they are so tight they didn't sort him out.

I suspect Ryan Bennett will not be doing that. How football has changed.
