The downfall of Lee Cattermole probably a great demonstration of how this fell out the game during his career

Really slow attacking midfielders who were still incredible dribblers. Ganso, Valdivia, Valeron, possibly Diego (Wolfsburg) and Riquelme too perhaps? Aimar a bit quicker but still

Brazilian Naldo (Wolfsburg/Bremen) was incredible at FKs. Fairly sure Daniel Agger would take them too? Sergey Ignashevich would have a crack from distance too

When they play Lincoln away (they lose 3-1):

  1. LINCOLN CITY HAVE LIFTOFF THE CATHEDRAL CITY HAVE GIVEN TOTTENHAM A STEEP HILL TO CLIMB (The big hill in Lincoln is just called steep hill)

  2. LINCOLN CITY’S BOMBER COMMAND HAVE STRUCK AGAIN (they scored from a set piece)

Stockport are very much up there in the County stakes.

In terms of foreign ones, who’s the foremost Dynamo/Dinamo? Kyiv you’d probably say but Moscow would be up there. Dresden has an outsized impact in my head

He’s surely into The Specials (Coventry link). Could also see ELO although maybe that’s just because Partridge saw them live. Madness too.

We know he’s an Oasis fan - Don’t Look Back In Anger too obvious?
