Left mates pad in London for a night on the booze. Quickly checked Footie Teletext as per usual before left flat. Strolled on. Ten minutes later my Dad rang me. My Dad never rings me.
Just announced on Radio 5 - no fee though. Gutted, spoilt the night. Got up next morning with the sale still milling around my head- Low and behold fee was announced. f***ing livid. Took me about a week to get over it.
I was watching Sky Sports News, and they had just finished doing some meaningless VT, when the presenter announced they had just received breaking news that Spurs had agreed a fee with Brighton for Zamora.
I was at Luton Borough Council's very unlovely Central Depot when Lord B's text message arrived. "Well, f*** that", I said, "he's off to Hoddle's Circus". Complete bafflement from assembled Lutonites...
Sitting in the office at my client's site in Tokyo. No webposting allowed at their place so found out from Sky Sports rather than NSC. And I've got to spend the next six months, at least, working with a Spurs fan.
And then I uttered the immortal words "at least we'll have some cash to buy new players now".
