And if so, why?<br /><br />That flat sweet pink strip offered a small consolation should the cards reveal 3 or 4 'gots' of the Steve Ogrizovic/Remi Moses/Peter Withe ilk. They were tricky to swap and unlikely to attract trade for an elusive gold Cobblers crest.dickvandykehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13590436106154960912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-141796840572698100.post-51157311407000721302009-05-17T21:07:00.000+01:002009-05-17T21:07:00.000+01:00Have to echo those sentiments about King Kev.

The exuberance seemed to drain out of him like so much air from a punctured football.<br /><br />Ahh, now I probably played the sympathy card there and ended up getting a couple of packs of cards (they were actually Panini stickers, historical accuracy fans!) bought for me by a parent as a way to cheer me up in my ailing, possibly terminal state. <br /><br />The stuff about being a slovenly workshy fop is bang on by the way!Kippershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00204054692989383519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-141796840572698100.post-79986779728464023092009-05-17T20:15:00.000+01:002009-05-17T20:15:00.000+01:00"Thursday 31st January

Can you explain how you came about the procurement of a further 12 football cards whilst ill and off school?<br /><br />Members of the Jury, I put it to you, that you that Kippers was not in fact 'poorly' - but a slovenly workshy fop, merely weedling your way out of Double Science with the rampant Leggy Hargreaves.<br /><br /><br />Poor King Kev - more career ups and downs than a whore's drawers.<br />Hero or villain? Genius footballer or 'workmanlike 100 percenter'? Top Of The Pops or Top Of The Clots? Superstar or Superperm? Scunthorpe or San Siro?<br /><br />I'd love it.

(At least we will until Kev & Trev recover from injury just in time to come off the bench for the crucial game against Spain and KK puts an easy, glancing header wide that would have sent us through to the next round, had it gone in. Bah.) <br /><br />Also, remember this?<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-JtHe3hGUs&feature=related <br /><br />I'd heard of it but had never actually heard the song till now.
