This comes in the light of Sir Alex Ferguson launching an attack against stars who rely heavily on their agents, branding the players as being "cocooned".

"I completely agree with his [Ferguson's] sentiments," Neville said in his column for the Times of Malta.

"It is one of my pet hates when I see players who have agents that do everything for them.

Awesome stuff from the Senior Neviller. I can’t understand why I never used to like him. In a world of bland, monosyllabic footballers, he’s an absolute Godsend.

Rooney9 SG

buy fridge so simple. go to dept store, select which fridge you like, pay with your credit card and then arrange when they deliver to your house.

True story, Rooney9. There was a player at Fulham about ten years ago who kept complaining to the club that he always woke up with a wet head. The club were very concerned, thinking that it was some kind of bizarre medical condition, but they couldn’t find anything wrong with him. Eventually, they sent a liason officer to his house to check things out.

It turned out he was sleeping underneath an open window and getting rained on in the night. They cured his problem quite quickly by simply shutting the window.

Not all footballers are stupid, I’ve met quite a few clever ones, but some of them are so staggeringly dense that you wonder if they could ever have survived in the outside world without assistance.

Rooney9 SG

Iain Macintosh SG

I think it was Fabrice Fernandes. Google his name and ‘wet head’ and I think you’ll find the story!
