You may as well label nearly everyone who’s played the game a cheat, we’ve all tried to hoodwink a ref and I doubt we’ve held our hands up if we’ve succeeded. I’m sure when I played I’ve had goals allowed when I knew for sure I’d got away with a foul but own up and tell the ref, no chance, as well as myself taking the advantage of a dodgy decision the bollocking from team mates and coaches if I didn’t would, I reckon, be justified.
Agreed but I remembered Kyle Letheren's name because I'm so old that I remember his father, Glan, playing in goal for a few clubs and being called up to the Welsh squad without ever getting a cap.
Also, it was definitely Graham Taylor who was labelled turnip head.
