Great article, Rob, as ever.

A cracking read, Rob, I've been looking forward to this one since you first mentioned it. Reading his own words is illuminating; he comes across as a really confident individual with a work ethic, which may help to explain why he rose so far in the Footballer's Battalion.

Lovely bit of writing, Rob.

Who knows, if he hadn't cocked up those two open goals in the derby, Everton might have kept him on and not made an immediate move for that Dean fella.

Of such moments is history made.

This is quite possibly the manliest man who ever lived.

Brilliant, as ever, Rob. Jack was a true hero. And particularly poignant at this time.

ps: Good to see that Rooney was not the first fine player 'to like a drink'!

He looks bonkers in that photo. What a character, great stuff. How we could do with his like around Goodison today to add some colour to a dismal, grey period of faceless, boring journeymen.
