I can't believe all the arse-licking that's going on on this thread....
The guy was a knob, and it's more than likely that Knight can't read let alone post on the site that's been calling him a twat for the last few years.
He seems to be heading towards Asia.
think you'll find that's my dvd
Hampshire Seagulls said:See, I don't really care. He was here to do a job and get paid for it. He did the job and when he stopped doing it he moved on. So, after he left us, he became no longer of any interest.
'Leon', you had a girlfriend in the crowd on that boiling hot away day at Oldham (opening day) when you were still yet to sign your contract offer.
What colour hair did she have? Who else was in the crowd behind the goal? What song did we serenade you with during your Albion career?
Eh? Eh?
See, I don't really care. He was here to do a job and get paid for it. He did the job and when he stopped doing it he moved on. So, after he left us, he became no longer of any interest. It's nice to see former players doing well, but ultimately all this "I loved you" is bollocks - they liked us because it got them seen, and now they have followed the money. Many people move jobs then slag off their last place of work - why should footballers be different? Football is a business - we contract people to play for us, they kiss the badge then they are gone. My sleep is still uninterrupted by this. As long as we make enough money out of them to buy our next temporary goal scorer, I don't really give a toss. If Leon does well in Asia, then great. We don't exchange Christmas cards so it's not really important to me if he gets sent off playing for Wanghai Albion in the Daloon Spring Roll League, or whether he sorts his life and mind out and ends up being begged to go back to Chelsea and leads them to the next treble.
On the whole, I agree with you. I hate all the badge-kissing nonsense. But, in some instances I think it does apply. Are you honestly saying you don't get a bit of a warm feeling inside when you see Bobby score for Fulham? I know I do....
I noticed that which is why, coupled with some NSC jiggery pokery, I think it might just be him.
Although his geography might be a tad out - it's Eastern Europe.
(Or this is quite an elaborate hoax - we'll see and I'll report back)
