The only sport that ever got me out of my armchair to go and watch was Formual One racing but that was yonks ago when 'Son of Duff' was a titch. I confess to becoming a little more interested in 'footie' recently because I like the early morning Alan Brazil show on 'Talk Sport' during which lots of grown men become incandescent over some trivial incident in a match teh night before. I've even picked a spurious expertise now.<BR/><BR/>As for that awful statue, what a very peculiar placing of the hands. A body like Gazza's drinking pal, 'Two Bellies', and a pose like prim Jean Brodie!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18009508.post-1143579496084357952006-03-28T21:58:00.000+01:002006-03-28T21:58:00.000+01:00David, I'd wager that he's probably a supporter of...David, I'd wager that he's probably a supporter of one of Glasgow's long suffering 'lesser' teams.
