Best. Username. EVER

Me? You do know I've been on here for the last 5 years?

Still, crappy username aside the Keane goal against Juventus (

) is another goal I would put up there with the Ole vs Liverpool goal I mentioned earlier, not exactly the greatest technically but the whole scenario that Keane already knew that he would miss the final before he scored the goal and he still dragged us by the scruff of the neck back into the tie only for us to go on and win it, just a huge goal, so many good memories from that season in particular.

Wasn't the Ferdinand one from a loose ball after a corner? The one where he volleyed it at hip height or something like that? And Brown was from open play. So quality of corners didn't really factor into those two ;) Can't remember the others at this moment in time :(

Keane got booked after he scored.

Surprised I'm that high up, don't usually post as much as others. On a side note, we've signed Reece James from Preston, brother of Matt who just joined Leicester. Played a game for us on trial at the back end of the season. He's a left back. Would assume he'll start in the U18s, I think Louis Rowley is the only left back in there now, although Ben Barber and Nick Ioannou can play there despite being centre backs.

I'll start the thread tomorrow if you want, as long as Icelander bans BBB for a time so he can't jinx it again I'm not bothered who starts it. I'll knock up an OP and post it in here for anyone to make changes to if they like, nobody looks at it after the second page but it's nice to make a bit of an effort :thup:
