It's like a first day of school, I am so excited and there is a hunger in me and I hope I'm going to prove my critics wrong and enjoy my football."What a talent, I can remember when he joined us and how, on his first appearance as a sub, he fell over the ball, did his groin and was taken off after five minutes. Well done 'Eck, what a signing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irwin Sparkes 97 Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Such a cringeworthy guy. Must've ran his mouth off to every journalist in the land and then had his Rangers career ended within minutes by Bob O'Balde Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
