assure best brilliant clue good man ordinary position utility
I don't have a clue what his best position is, ... because he is so good in all of them. Usually a utility man is ordinary in every position, but he is brilliant in every position and that is a problem, I can assure you.
contact great john kennedy pack stuff time worked
John Kennedy has worked with the pack this week. He has not done any contact stuff but he has been with us. He's still some time off but it's great to have him back.
body hours language media met roy sat speak spoken
If I'd spoken to the media about him, it could have been misinterpreted by Roy. I only wanted to speak to him about it. I sat down with him for two hours when we met and if Roy thought there was anything in my body language which said I didn't really want him, then he wouldn't be here.

Apologies to Andreas, but I have not seen him play and I don't really know his name, so that kind of answers the question,
business chat company cup enjoy entertainment football jock knew legends liked maybe met presence quite reason room seemed sit somebody straight strange talking tea terms walked
For some strange reason we got on together. Maybe it was because I liked talking about football all the time. We'd sit down on the settee, have a cup of tea and chat about the game. He seemed to enjoy my company and vice-versa. You know, I've met football legends and legends of the entertainment business and they've sometimes been quite disappointing in terms of personality. But Big Jock walked in the room and you knew straight away you were in the presence of somebody special.
body dynamic fair games good hopefully losing player recent rest suggest
It's never good losing a player like Stan, but hopefully the rest will do him good. I think it's probably fair to say that he hasn't been as dynamic for us over recent games and, if you look at his performances, I think there's a lot there to suggest that his body has been getting tired.
