I once took the wife (now ex) to Ewood Park, being the chivalrous chap that i am, and within the first five minutes she said: "Here, who's that old git? He looks knackered alread". She duly nodded in the direction of Simon Garner who, truth be told, was blowing a bit at the near post before a Blackburn corner....................... The rest, as they say, is history; we lost 5-0 and Garner bagged a hat trick.
RE: He was a great striker He smoked 20 fags a day and usually had a bevvy most evenings. Fair play to the bloke. Definitely would not fit into Arsene Wenger's keep-fit schedule.
