“Hopefully the feeling they have and all that stuff will outweigh financial gain but maybe there'll be other things about it too.


"Big Al [McCarthy], I guess I'm a bit of an idiot for not playing a bit sooner, but I think we have such a brilliant goalkeeping department here with Gavin [Bazunu] and Joe [Lumley] as well.
