Said before and I'll say again the bloke gave me large quantities of hard to obtain underage booze on a few occasions thanks to his house parties :thup:

 

In exchange for what? ???

 

Help yourself in the garage, magic. Really good fella.

Such an awful moment watching him like that. He might look like an old SAS veteran, but I seeing in tears like that was just heartbreaking.

You just have to see/meet/talk to Andy Woodman about Sunderland to know how much of an influence Carver has had. Hero.

  “It was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to deal with. I was hurt when Bob died, but you knew at his age it could happen. He’d had a good life, an amazing career. Gary’s was only just starting.

He is right in what he says mind, even those Geordies who do not follow football or care for it, know how well we are doing or not and indeed wish us well, and that is what seperates us from other footballing cities, towns or areas. My own mother is a classic example, she could name perhaps 2-3 of our players and has only ever saw us play once live at SJP I think, but she will always say to me 'fingers crossed for a win son' or comment on us, usually some tripe like 'useless gits drew again I see', and its the same all over. Take one of the older gadgies who works for me, when you mention NUFC or footy in general they are all overpaid mercenaries, the Toon although doing well, will fall flat on their face etc. but his ring tone is Coming Home Newcastle, his phone screensaver thing a NUFC badge and the rear window of his car houses a NUFC scarf and this a man who hasn't been to a game in decades.

Just watched Backroom Battle for this week, Woody reckons when Chelsea moaned about Krul time wasting, Carver said to them (while pulling 'a face') "I seem to remember you lot doing the same against Barcelona last week" and they all just backed down.  :lol:

 

EDIT: Woody also claiming he spent an hour and a half on the training ground with Cisse 1-to-1 and taught him how to hit it like that.  :lol: :lol: :lol:
