Fugazi Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 I know Steve Bruce's books have been mentioned here before, but this is a glorious review of the third in the tribology. http://thesetpieces.com/features/defender-steve-bruce-review/ http://thesetpieces.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/6.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Can't believe I've not heard of Bruce's books and those reviews, all 3 reviews are brilliantly written. One of my favourite bits is an Israeli woman who kidnaps 'Steve Barnes' blowing her cover because she got asked who her favourite footballer was and she immediately said 'Eyal Berkovic' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's exactly the sort of thing he'd say. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallace Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Hawksbee and Jacobs on Talksport used to regularly read out excerpts from the book in a Steve Bruce voice a few years back. Was quite amusing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dinho lad Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Apparently Tottenham's new stadium's player tunnel is going to be a glass tunnel where the people on the other side of the glass are spectators that can observe as players are coming out of the dressing room.

In other news, can't believe Aaron Lennon is only 29 I feel like Aaron Lennon's age is a controversial subject every few years. He was playing in the premier league when he was 16 wasn't he? That's quite a while. Can you believe Wayne is 31? I can, because he was 16 fifteen years ago. Ed: slight adjustment Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much, so good, so young. Then age-wise they should be at their peak, their spent forces. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
