I may be less than popular for saying this - but I'm pleased we didn't sign the obnoxious, arrogant little cheat. I'd rather have eleven honest men in my side.
What did you think of John King back in the day?
Point taken to a degree - however, Kingy was (& probably still is) a Scouse scally & there's a certain sense of humour with them, which enables me for one to turn a blind eye in some ways. I will say that I never saw Kingy practically catch a ball, cuddle it to his midriff, let it drop & then carry on, score and celebrate like he was some kind of genius; I also never saw him in a posse surrounding the referee & demanding that an opposing player be sent off. In case anyone thinks I'm being one-sided, I never saw him punch the ball into the net & claim a goal, or net a rebound off the advertising hoardings & claim a goal either. Kingy wasn't a saint - far from it, just like the rest of us - but there have been many worse offenders.
