whilst Bruce also retains his dashing good looks.

Two of the best wikipedia quotes:

1. About Roger Friday, former Hayes, Reading and Cardiff player:

"He soon moved to Hayes, who were willing to pay him more and were closer to his home in Acton. Hayes started one match with only ten players, as Friday was finishing a pint in the local pub. When he finally took the field after ten minutes he was obviously drunk and spent the game staggering around the pitch. Naturally, the opposition ignored him, until he scored the only goal of the game."

2. About Jorge Campos, former Mexico goalkeeper and designer of his own kits:

"Campos started his career in 1988 in Mexico with Pumas. At that time the club's first-choice goalkeeper was Adolfo Rios but, because Campos desired first-team opportunities, he asked to be used as a striker. He performed notably in his first season, scoring 14 goals and even challenging for the title of top-goalscorer. In the following seasons he earned the position of first-choice goalkeeper and won the 1990-1991 championship with Pumas."
