He said he liked Blackburn that's all. When I was young and everton were pants I used to enjoy watching Chelsea as they had Zola. I never supported them though.
Mid 90s I was a huge Italian football fan, changed teams about 10 times, based on a variety of things including which subbuteo teams I had. It was about the enjoyment of the players and the kits as much as anything...in a Nod to being back on topic. I used to enjoy watching Jagielka, now not so much.
That Italian show on channel 4 when I was young was amazing. So much footballing talent on display and weird Italians in full rain coats watching the match. Also Jagielka used to be outstanding now not so much as is the way with age sadly.
I loved Signori's penalty's, and yes I always replicated them. Beat a semi pro in a penalty shoot out in a 5 a side goal when I was in college, the keeper put it down to my 2 step run up.
He's been good but not outstanding for us. A solid 7/10 defender, yet one who rarely threatened in the opposition box as a centre back should (will always be thankful for his goal at Anfield). His decline has been rapid, and time is now up. Thanks and all the best, Phil.
Was exceptional for a couple of seasons until he did his cruciate just before the 09 cup final. IMO was up there with the very best in the league at the time and he had some top class CBs around to compare against. Not quite hit the same heights since but has been a solid and loyal servant. Will be sad to see him leave but I think age and injuries have caught up with him and he's been a liability at times this season. Plus Williams needs a quick player alongside him.
I'd say a good 7.5 - 8 certainly.
