I'm not normally a fan of the honours system but this is fully deserved. Arise Sir King Kenny, not bad for a 'wee scally fae the Milton'.

Edge of the box I think mate

If you haven’t read his book “The smell of Football” try and get a hold of it mate. Very honest, very funny and plenty of Rovers anecdotes. He still lives in Blackburn as well.

You might if he has also set a new goalscoring record in the process, possibly, yes. I've never been that keen on the lad myself, but he is England's record goalscorer after all, and its not as if there haven't been recent precedents (albeit not English ones).

That's a very fair post

Indeed. We passed it around them at Celtic Park as I say, without creating much. They did have an off night that night (I watched a fair bit of them at the time) but did a smash and grab via Hartson and the scorer Larsson. I seem to remember we missed a sitter (Cole?) early at Ewood but then after 15 or 20 minutes Nils Eric Johansson fell over the ball and Henrik scored again (In my mind it was a similar incident to Basil Rathbone allowing Gordon Strachan to score for United in a big televised FA Cup game at Ewood in the mid 80s). It was game over from that point. I did enjoy directing a minibus full of Celtic @#/? to the Reebok from Darwen that night though.

Yes he was - most Celtic fans think it was him that came out with the "It was men against Bhoys" quote when that was, in fact, captain Gary Flitcroft. Not a great time to be married into a Celtic family that..... Incidentally we played them off the park up there without creating much but they did a number on us at Ewood and were worthy winners over the two legs I thought.

We are all sad shadows of our former selves when we get into our 50s. But he is still a very good player at Blackburn Combination level, believe me!! Anyone who has ever played against an ageing ex pro will probably know what I'm talking about - they are light years ahead of us mere mortals. He's almost 53 but your point is valid mate lol.

Wolves were a poor 4th Division team at the time. Then along came Bully.....

I was at that game - from memory it ended up 3-0, quite a hammering. Its funny how people's memories play tricks on them. I was at that game with a lad who was a Rovers first teamer at the time and years later he swore that Steve Bull played for Wolves that night. He didn't (I think he might have been cup tied or something) but what a night for Chorley that was!

At least half of them don't want to be there.

Aye, though if you're going to get dicked, do it in a game that means nowt I suppose.

PP Arnold - Angel of the Morning (Here's me with the lovely lady herself at a soundcheck in Glasgow recently)

In my time I've seen Jones, Arnold, Gennoe and Flowers and thought they were all magnificent. But none of them were as good as Brad.

Good post. I agree with just about all of that.

He's coaching the kids at (I think) Galatasary according to Colin Hendry, who recently tried to get him to play in a Rangers veterans game. Does anyone remember this line-up?

I was being sarcastic to stretch my point ?..... .....which is this £7million millstone is probably more like £3million in reality. Still a fair old outlay for us tbh.

On these two points Stuart. While I do think he lacks proper match fitness, most players are blowing out of their arses when asked to come on for the last 15-20 minutes. I also very much doubt we have (or will) paid anywhere near £7million for the lad. Even if there is any accuracy in that figure, it would likely be dependant on us winning the prem and him making x number of appearances, winning an England cap etc etc. All that said, I don’t think he has been done any favours so far by how he has been used.

Unless I misread his reply I think Chaddy was saying he did pinch it.
