Yeah he gets names wrong constantly but he seems like such a friendly old man. His commentary isn't terrible, he at least tries to offer some insight.

I remember that game well. Momo absolutely monstered Ballack all game.

He was never the same after that eye injury sadly. His first touch became even more erratic and his short passing got worse. But his ability to win the ball and his athleticism was amazing. Seemed like a good lad too.

I was there and I remember that hit vividly cos I accidently hit a grumpy old man in the head when he fired the shot.

Remember when Momo booted the ball really high up in the air under no pressure, seemingly on purpose as a ruse to coax someone into tackle him so he could destroy them?

I can't find a video of it anywhere but I remember him kicking the ball a good 10 yards straight up in the opposition half.

Some football facts I found amusing:

1. The heaviest ever England player was a goalkeeper called Willie 'Fatty' Foulke. At 6 feet 6 inches tall, he weighed 22 stones and played for England around the turn of the century.

2. A Manchester City fan was banned in 1995 from bringing dead chickens into City’s Maine Road ground. He used to celebrate City goals by swinging the birds around his head.

3. Barcelona ’s Hristo Stoichkov was banned for six months in 1990 for stamping on the referee’s foot after being sent off in a Cup tie against Real Madrid.

4. The Liberia team escaped imprisonment by holding Gambia to a goalless draw in 1980. The Liberian Head of State, Master Sergeant Samuel Doe, had threatened to jail them it they lost.

5. The Scottish Cup tie between Falkirk and Inverness Thistle in 1979 was postponed no fewer than 29 times because of bad weather.

6. The Sampdoria team and 200 supporters walked 20 miles to a mountain sanctuary near Genoa in 1969 to thank the Madonna for helping them stave off relegation.

7. In 1998, The Macclesfield mascot, was sent off for making obscene gestures during a players’ brawl in the match with Lincoln City.

8. At the age of 52, Pedro Gatica cycled from his home in Argentina to Mexico for the 1986 World Cup, only to find on arrival that he couldn’t afford to get in. While he was trying to haggle for a ticket, thieves stole his bike.

9. A Tanzanian soccer match was postponed in 1978 after the referee was arrested on the pitch and accused of smoking marijuana just before the kick-off.

10. Romanian midfielder Ion Radu was sold by Second Division Jiul Petrosani to Valcea in 1998 for 500kg of pork (Worth about £1750).

This lead to reading the Wikipedia entry on Liberia and by extension Samuel Doe. I was aware of Charles Taylor and all that, but :drat:

If you don't know the original lyrics or the situation of the play, it's nothing more than an bunch of tired jokes about the transfer window. The humor is all from the musical similarity to the original tune.
