Lakenheath Old Boys

We are all former students at Lakenheath High School and other public schools in East Anglia. We were in school in the 70s and 80s and drank deeply from the well of British culture of those decades - the pints, the telly, and of course the footie!

Footie Riddler of the Week

The footie punditry world is aflutter this week over Carlos Tevez's "toys out of the pram" antics against Bayern on Tuesday, with a lot of the hacks claiming that this has never happened before. Tosh. Here's a riddler on another celebrity bad boy from yore:

"My legendary disciplinary problems started in 1987 when I punched a teammate Bruno Martini in the face. In 1988, I got a six game ban for breaking Michel Der Zakarian's leg. In January 1989 during a friendly game against Torpedo Moscow I kicked the ball at the crowd, then ripped off and threw away my shirt after being substituted. Finally in 1990, I was banned from my international side after referring to the manager as a "c--t" on national telly. Who am I?"

Spot on, mate! You are the king of the riddlers.

What are your thoughts on the Tevez incident - understandable reaction to being benched or undisciplined load of bollocks?

Thank you

Of course, Fergie could fix King Eric but gave up with Tevez

I think he is out of order not going on. Mancini should stick to his guns!

Spurs just fell behind five minutes into the second half at home to SHAMROCK ROVERS

There was wicked laughter emanating from the DC general area for about 10 minutes - unfortunately, Spurs ran out 3-1 winners in the end.

Any thoughts about the Ginja Ninja's support for Carlito this week and the revelation that he refused to come on in a match against Arsenal?
