Big Society wrotePip said "why not get Colin to go in for Zak Whitbread?" Now that I would like...not the worlds greatest defender but if we are shopping in the bargin basement still Whitbread makes more sense than another 33 year old.
Since he had a few stinkeroos for us, I couldn't recommend Zak as unreservedly as I do Adam Drury (excepting some loss of pace, of course), but in between injuries, he started to look like a promising Premier League player. He could certainly hold his own in the Championship.
The speeding tickets story: he was up before the beek for failure to pay, and his lawyer pleaded "extreme hardship", as he is currently out of work, i.e., between clubs. Poor fellow--he was only on 4K a week at Naaridge. How could he be expected to come up with these fines? I gather he's currently experiencing "extreme hardship" in Barbados.
