Fair play to him, but what's it for?
How come Blind Dave gets overlooked year-after-year? (Tom Watson: fight his corner).
The Honours System is a sham: How come that scraggy old cow Joan Collins gets knighted? She hasn't even paid taxes to the UK for over 50 years (might be exaggerating - but the Honours System Committee should disregard anyone who avoids Tax in this country - So no Lewis Hamilton OBE for me! And no awards for anyone who gets paid a f***ing fortune for singing, reading the f***ing News, or ponceing it up in front of a f***ing camera!!!!)
I'm going back to bed till next Year now......I get so angry. Grrrrr)

Old enough to remember him as a player, vey decent one also
When injury curtailed his promising career he couldve walked away but didnt and gave something back

Well Done to Brendon. An inspiration to all Footballers (not just Black!!). I had the pleasure of watching him play and meet him in Person. He took time to actually speak to me and ask about me-- a true gent just like Big Cyrille. Just imagine having both of them playing today for the team-- Ummm.
