Nathan Jones on our players in programme - very good (in my opinion)

Just a selection of quotes from Jonesy on our players:

Adam Virgo: Brighton born with a private education but you wouldn't think it as hes probably the dullest bloke ever to go to a public school.

Guy Butters: Guy has been on the Geri Halliwell diet for the past year now.

An inspiration and one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet - just don't leave any chocolate bars lying about.

Dan Harding: Plays behind me and will probably take about 5 years off my career because of the amount of work I have to do covering for him.

Adam Hinshelwood: He looks pre-historic....

Kerry Mayo: He can often be seen wrestling with his best mate Harty, or chewing on 15 Pot Noodles during an away journey.

Gary Hart: A great team player, he usually tries to get the Pot Noodles before Kerry.

John Piercy: John is the untidest person I have ever seen and has probably got the ugliest cat in the world. He came from Tottenham and never shuts up about his eight Premiership appearances.

Leon Knight: He's always weaselling about and don't ever lend anything to him because you'll never get it back.

Chris Iwelumo: Looks remarkably like Lionel Richie from back in the '70s.

Chris McPhee: Chris can defiantely be described as weird. I mean, he races frogs on the Internet and thats a bit unique!

Mark McGhee: The Gaffer has had a tremendous career, which has enabled him to buy some of the tightest trousers ever seen in Sussex.

Dean White: "Del Boskey" has had plenty of stick this season for his eating habits, but hes gone out and lost a stone and looks great for it. Unfortunately a few kebab shops have nearly gone bust as a result.

Nathan Jones: A Welsh wing wonder. A perfect specimen of mankind. When God made footballers, he was the mould! Its great to be here in my hometown playing in a final - its a dream come true and I wouldn't want to be with any other group of lads in the world.



Don't know about everyone else, but it gave me a good laugh on the way home.

Agreed...the bit about Dean White meeting John Piercy's mum for a pick 'n' mix in Woolworths was both funny and surreal at the same time :D
 


Him and Charlie have got a good competition going there in the pisstaking scribe stakes. I think Charlie's jokes are funnier although Jonah is a little more sophisticated in his themes and imagery.......

Quality writing and it was nice that he kept the comedy for the programme rather than trying his party tricks on the pitch - and making a prat of himself - like he did at Swindon.

I was gutted we never got to see the Jones Gallop at the Millennium Stadium. That said his flick over the advancing defenders head when he was given the ball early on in the game was quality.

Albion & England forever.

That many??!!

Hmm, think it's his sums which have got a bit untidy there.

Quality cross when he came on, though.

Ruel Fox taught him that, you know. [ahem]

Very good programme notes, though. Nice change from most players' Alan Shearer-style dullness.
