Didn't Elton John write a song about him?
Oh no, that was I'm Still Standing.
My mistake. But isn't DK his uncle or something?

But if you look at it that way then he must be good because Villa had to pay us nigh on half a million quid for him. If my memory serves me correct he was the one with the england u18 caps, not Gareth Barry. My memory has been destroyed by drugs and alcohol though, so I could be wrongDAMANCLAY said:

Isn't he in the Zutons? I don't think we should sign him on principle.

I would think he is on a high wage. Villa would have put him on a decent wage and Bradford were throwing money about when they signed him and got rid of him for that reason. Walsall were paying decent money, hence them being able to attract Merson, Kinsella etc. Yes, clubs do get rid of poor players when they have a clear out, but they also have to get rid of good ones if they are earning too much too support.

Far too likely to be the truth, wild rumours are more fun and people having their own TV shjows....

Quote from Walsall friend - "I quite liked him. Good player until he got injured and didn't quite regain his stature. But then Merson was pretty poor - one game he fielded 6 centre backs!!"

I remember Jeff Wood doing that at Hartlepool a few years ago during one of 4 nil nil draws I have seen us get up there.

I think it was a game at the start of the season and they lost 5-2 to Swansea at home....backfired a bit! Merson offered his resignation three times I think.
Jeff Bonser is the sort of man to put profit before the team and if he doesn't think he would get a great deal from Standing - short term contract etc. then he simply won't spend the money.

Didn't Doug Ellis say DK wouldn't recognise him standing on Brighton Beach, wearing a Brighton Shirt and a seagull on his head?
Then we all found out he was his nephew or something?

It was John Gregory who was Villa manager at the time that came out with that little number, I think.
