In The Know	Good to see that the football world is offering support .... http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/7257612.stm
Anthony	Yes, thanks, ITK. Made me chuckle.
In The Know	Anthony, Saw this in the Popbitch newsletter and thought you'd like it ! We can't help thinking Gazza booze and drug trodden path to the loony bin was somewhat inevitable. The story of his sad sectioning this week brought back an old Gazza legend from when he was 18. Still an apprentice he was desperate to impress his boss at Newcastle ,Jack Charlton. He spent a week's wages on fishing gear and got the legendary angler to give him a lesson. At the riverbank Charlton apparently threw all Gazza's equipment into the water, except for the fishing rod, opened a bottle of Newcastle Brown Ale and poured it into the water. The fish started biting and he reeled in a whopper in minutes. So an early lesson - all you need is beer.
In The Know	I think you are right, Anthony. He would have been a much happier person playing Sunday football. I suspect that Rooney (so similar in many ways) is Gazza Mk II
Anthony	Yes, I hope it does him some good. I quite like Gazza, despite his many misdemeanours. I have often wondered whether he would have had quite so many demons had he not been blessed with such footballing talent. A Gazza working down the local factory with his mates, without the fantastic wealth and constant media glare could have made for a much happier, more stable Gazza. Cursed by his talent maybe. Or maybe not.
