“He and his wife, Shelley, recently moved into their new home in Worcestershire…”
——
He has a Twitter account too, http://twitter.com/#!/mrjodycraddock
– Irrelevant but why would he need a twitter account with a real name and than one with TSF… However, there are some tweets talking about how he plays with his kids
– He is also an artist too so I don’t think he has the time to write articles
He seems to refer to his ‘kids’ or his ‘boys’ on his twitter, no mention of a girl…

None of these have been names have been record transfers. Nor have they won back-to-back player of the year awards.
Most of these players have never played for a big “red-top” club either
If it is Kevin Davies, then the clue about leaving one Prem team after relegation to join another prem team isn’t in reference to Blackburn in 1999,because he mentions that the team was relegated on the last day while still having an outside shot of staying up…Blackburn were already down on the last day.
For:
35 – Terry Connor
27 – Cambridge
37- 2009
25 – Played with Issac Okworonkwo, who went on to play for Moscow (not CSKA, the other one)
