Did he go to prison back in Brazil?
That was sensational. Loved jimmy
Digard had talent and was a good footballer, but sadly made of glass as you say.Great stuff selling all our midfielders and leaving us with glass legs Digard and Josh Walker.
I think it’s the fact that they either had to be full internationals or have European ancestry to qualify for a work permit. Plenty do but I’m not sure if that route is even possible now that we’re out of the EU.No matter how many times Rocky did the no look pass you knew the opposition would fall for it.
The thing is, the Brazilian leagues must be full of such players and it'd be nice to think we could find someone who'd bring that sort of presence and ability to our midfield.
You look at a lot of the Brazilians we've had or who've played for other teams and you can see that they are suited for the physicality of the English game so it amazes me that more clubs don't look for players over there.
Can't get the work permits isn't it? I think it's easier for teams in Italy and Spain. **** knows how we got de la Pena though. Spanish passport?No matter how many times Rocky did the no look pass you knew the opposition would fall for it.

Italian I think. Same as Juninho.Can't get the work permits isn't it? I think it's easier for teams in Italy and Spain. **** knows how we got de la Pena though. Spanish passport?
I’m sure you have gone over and over in your mind that at least you were there to enjoy Kirkham and Weshams greatest ever day. Whoever they are.Many a time I've told this tale but here goes anyway.......
The Mrs had corporate Wembley tickets for the FA Vase final that day and as I had never been to the new Wembley jumped at the chance to be wined and dined. I remember having Jeff Stelling on the tele in the box and they just kept going to Boro for another goal and my phone pinging constantly with texts from the lads who were at the game, followed by answerphone messages stating something about sticking Wembley up my rear end and we want 9!!!!
I doubt I will ever get the chance to see Boro win 8-1!!!
As good as that was i think Rockys is better - the keeper really should have kept that one of Spikes out
Second best Boro free kick goal. I think this is better
I seem to recall Buxton were playing in one of the games as one of the people was a fan.I’m sure you have gone over and over in your mind that at least you were there to enjoy Kirkham and Weshams greatest ever day. Whoever they are.
The keeper saw it coming. He's trying to get an extra man in the wall but is being ignored. He's back and forth along the line nervous as hell cos his instinct tells him what Spike is going to do but his training is telling him to guard the far post.I've always felt the keeper should have had this. Good strike though.
I thought Juninho was a legit work permit each time apart from when on loan, then some useless ex-FA bloke said he would walk to Boro to watch him, so he should be given an exceptional circumstances one (yes I know his name, but refuse to type it)Italian I think. Same as Juninho.
Defo, Juninho didn't have an EU passport. Emerson did, which is how he got to play here despite having no caps.I thought Juninho was a legit work permit each time apart from when on loan, then some useless ex-FA bloke said he would walk to Boro to watch him, so he should be given an exceptional circumstances one (yes I know his name, but refuse to type it)
Marinelli was the one on Italian passport I think
