Actually Polly's got some good after-dinner anecdotes about Thierry Henry and Beckham. He was far and away the best of three speakers when I saw him. Mind he was up against Dean Saunders and Chris Kamara...
Like!
Seriously though - The managers and team ethos of clubs like Saints, Reading, Naaarich and Swansea represent the modern game and the modern way of doing things with a quiet, intelligent efficiency. Sort of like Hodgson as opposed to Redknapp.
Thanks to Markus for saving the Saints.
Thanks to the Liebherrs for keeping the faith.
Thanks to Nicola and the Backroom Staff for creating the vision.
Thanks to Nigel and the Coaches for instilling the belief.
Thanks to the Players for realising the dream.
Thanks to the Fans for their support and passion.
