I love the way he makes pronouncements about Christians being a 'persecuted minority' – you could be forgiven for thinking he was actually an agent provocateur.

Pity we didn't propose Karren Brady, that old dinosaur would soil his pants if he had to face her. When she met the squad, one Birmingham player quipped: "I can see your tits in that shirt", to which Brady replied: "Well, don't worry, when I sell you to Crewe, you won't be able to see them from there, will you?" He was transferred soon after.
