Playing Style[edit]

Adnan is somewhat the Iraqi Ian Harte, a left-back with a ferocious set piece.

that is such manc humour

wrong Adnan

oh

Ali Adnan is often referred to as "The New Gareth Bale" or "Asia's Gareth Bale".[1]

def has the look of bantz abt it

he certainly qualifies under the original terms of this thread

Ali Adnan Kadhim regards his father as his idol and teacher in both life and sport, always emphasizing the importance of committing to training and respecting others, believing that football gives to those who give all. Throughout his career, his father has been by his side and is often seen at the Baghdad FC stadium watching his son from the sidelines. From a very young age, his father had drilled into his son, the need to strike the ball the hardest possible and attempt shots from outside the penalty, an attribute that his father and his uncle had been known for in their playing careers, and now a trait and legacy that Ali has continued.[2]

Bryan Gunn

Gerhard Martin Tremmel (born 16 November 1978 in Munich) is a German footballer who plays for Swansea City, as a goalkeeper. Tremmel is a vastly experienced goalkeeper having played at the highest level in the Premier League, Bundesliga, Champions League and European League. He is renowned for his shot stopping abilities and his reflexes.

Tremmel holds a number of goalkeeping records. At a rate of 4.2, Tremmel has the best saves per goal conceded ratio in the Premier League for the season 2012–13.[2] He also has the best save percentage in the Premier League at 80.9%.[2] His saves-to-shots ratio in the Premier League and on a European basis have made him second only to Manuel Neuer of Bayern Munich.

German mass tabloid Bild hailed Tremmel's "career highlight" at the "legendary" Wembley Stadium and a just reward for 15 years of hard work and professionalism in the game.[15]

"I was looking through newspapers and doing some research to see what was going on," the 34-year-old says. "Apart from that, my agent in Germany tried to get in touch with a lot of people [in Britain], but it's not very easy. Then my wife, who was on the internet every day, figured out that Swansea needed a goalkeeper. 'What about Swansea?' she said. 'They're here, in Austria, at the training camp.' So I looked at the map and it was just 40 minutes away from my apartment. I called my agent and he said: 'Just go there.'"

A Hull City supporter (Harry Haddock) was convicted for homophobic chants made against Brighton fans.[17]

"Homophobic Harry Haddock from Hull" is pretty much impossible to say out loud at speed

Kevin Clifton McMinn was alleged by The Scotsman to be called 'Teddy' at school because he ran as if he had a teddy bear tucked under his arm. In his autobiography McMinn stated it was because as a toddler he and his teddy bear were inseparable.

Later playing career[edit]

Ted McMinn ended his playing career with Australian club ECU Joondalup and then Slough Town.[1] At Sough Town during the 96/97 season, although slowing down, he played a holding role, often restarting attacks which had broken down. He was revered by the die hards who would sing his nickname Tin Man, to the tune of Stingray. Being a humourist, Ted would have appreciated this. When questioned whether McMinn was a "micky taker," team mate Mark Fiore replied sardonically "yes." At the end of the season he retired due to arthritis of the knee.

mildly obsessed with John-Joe O'Toole 1.jpg tbh

McMinn was a sort of cult figure with Rangers' fans so I'm not surprised he has a lengthy wiki entry

After retiring from football, Arphexad went back to the island of Guadeloupe. He played a extra in the first 4 episodes of the Guadeloupean sitcom Phoenix firehouse, He has also directed many low budget Guadeloupean films and is set to play a staring role in Human Centipede 3

He'll need to be at the front then.

Partick Thistle

After returning to Huddersfield Town, Higginbotham failed to establish himself in the first team, and was subsequently released from his contract.[7] He signed for Scottish Premiership side Partick Thistle on a two year deal on 8 August 2013.[8] Two days later he made his Partick Thistle debut in a 3–1 victory over Ross County where he had two goals controversially disallowed for offside.[9] He made his home debut for Thistle in a 1–1 draw with Heart of Midlothian. Higginbotham scored his first goal for the Jags on 31 August 2013 in a 2–1 comeback win over St.Mirren in Paisley. Higginbotham is a very audacious player as he hit the crossbar straight from kick-off away to Aberdeen. Kallum scored his first home goal for the jags with an overhead kick wonder goal against Kilmarnock after 3 minutes, the game finished 1-1 after Killie scored a 90th minute equaliser from a rebounded penalty which Paul Gallacher saved. Higginbotham is renowned for having a great standing jump for such a small footballer. Higginbotham is a very skilful player with great flair.

Bojinov dated a Bulgarian singer Alisia.[23] On 12 September 2007, he became father of a baby son.[24] His son is also named Valeri. Now he is married to a Bulgarian playmate Nikoleta Lozanova.[25]

On October 2013, Bojinov made the headlines in his native Bulgaria, but for good reason. While shopping with his family at a mall in Sofia, Bojinov saved a man reportedly choking on his tongue by helping to pull his tongue out of his throat and stabilising him until medics arrived.[26]
