Jurgen klinsmann

Back in 94/95 season when Spurs came to forest JK came out the back of the main stand and was swamped by forest fans looking for his autograph or picture as he was the big star in the premier league at the time. What a gent, he signed and he signed and he signed and he signed as he made his way back to the team coach. As he made his way back to the coach he spoke eloquently in English and was friendly and funny and charming. When he got to the steps of the coach he could have retired to his seat but he stood and carried on signing until everyone who wanted an autograph got one. In contrast Iain Walker who was a miserable, insolent, young relative (to jk) nobody at the time ran to the coach nearly bundling over the two 5 year olds who were sad enough to actually want his autograph. He then sat on the coach looking like Kevin off Harry Enfield for the next hour. What a wanker.

Anyway klinsmann has from that day always been somebody I have respected massively and I promise that if I'm ever famous that klinsmann and not walker will be my template when it comes to dealing with my fans.

Forgot my actual point. Anyone think klinsmann looks like John Denver when Denver isn't wearing his glasses?

That day the Forest fans in A Block and the Upper Bridgford duh'ed the the Dambusters song tune at him, arms outstretched.

When he was playing for Germany (or was it West Germany in those days) he was a diving cheating wanker and thought it really funny to make a joke out of it when scoring goals for Spurs.

He might be a gent off the pitch, but to me it's what they do on the pitch that matters and he is a cheat.

Most footballers are now, if those are our standards. He had a rep for it in England after the 1990 World Cup because at the time we didn't see diving so much in England then.

A fair point valspoodle. Look at someone like shearer or indeed Iain walker. ***** on the pitch, ***** off it, no personality. All the years of being a sad bastard and autograph hunting when I was a kid jk stands out. I tell you who was a prick, Bobby Robson. Was pre 1990 wc and he was under a lot of pressure so maybe a one off. It was the day gazza ripped forest apart.

I'm assuming you hated having Chris Gunter here?

Where's me hammer?
First saw him cheating at the world cup in 1990.... but he did play in a pretty awesome side that tore us to bits in the UEFA cup....best side on paper and in the flesh i have seen come to the CG

Terry Wilson had the flashiest shoes. They had leather tassels hanging off them. I'm surprised Cloughy didn't snip them off.

Lost at home to Aston Villa in the FA Cup quarter-final the following week and vowed to never again try properly in knockout football lest we suffer similar disappointment.
