If they see them as extras rather than a diversion of what they would be getting as base salary or from other more achievable bonuses I can easily see them agreeing to it.
Odds of it being activated/ paid are probably fairly remote for most players that clubs/ sponsors are likely to agree to it as an added incentive.
Its a flat sofa and heās not even stretching. Iām just taken by how modest his place appears.
Who was the player (goal keeper?) who cut his foot so badly he was out for weeks when he ācaughtā a glass from falling off the kitchen counter/emptying the dishwasher or something with his foot?
Was that Chris Kirkland?
Arsenalās Steve Morrow i think broke his arm when a team mate dropped him during a team celebration (they had either just scored or won a game, possibly a cup final?).
Didnāt he injure himself lying in bed? He was less a goalkeeper and more of a medical curiosity. Since retirement, he has been kept in a preservation jar at the Wellcome Collection
Tony Adams dropped him after a League Cup final I think.
I mean all jokes aside, he is notably the most recent ex-player of ours to have taken charge of a team of ours, albeit it being Liverpool Women.
Think that was Tony Adams.
Yes Kirkland rings a bell.
Edit: Google is telling me it was David Beasant:
The veteran goalkeeper was already battling to keep his place at Chelsea in 1993, but the means by which his career at Stamford Bridge came to a close was distinctly unusual. The former Wimbledon man managed to drop a jar of salad cream on his foot, the shattering glass severing the tendons in his toes. He never played for Chelsea again, with manager Glenn Hoddle shipping him off to Southampton.
Apparently it was a gigantic 2kg jar which did the damage, which tells us a fair amount about Beasantās eating habits as well. He would at least go on to make more than 200 further league appearances in a career which only ended at the remarkable age of 55 at Stevenage ā he didnāt play for them, but did make the substituteās bench against Carlisle United. Whether his taste in condiments had improved by that point is unknown.
Dave Beasant. It kept him out of the world cup or Euros
I think it was David James who hurt his knee by sitting with his legs up on the coffee table and somehow hyperextended it
Iāve definitely been in danger of doing that more than once, falling asleep with my legs upā¦ 
Thing is it can happen. If you are a regular gym goer or play amateur football then amount of niggles I would pick up at times when resting. Nothing serious but I was far healthier than now and yet.
One season wonder, they said
One trick pony, they said
Iām more impressed that he has overtaken Gordon Hodgson in a similar number of games. Could he equal Hunt if he stays?
I like the quality of his penalties lately.
Yup, reminds me of Milnerās at his best.
Mo Salah has equalled two all-time Premier League records today:
Most goals scored by an international player (184)
Most goal contributions in a 38-game season (44)
Yeah, Iāve been thinking lately whether we will have someone else be equally good step in when he goes. Itās easy to take for granted but I remember we had that spell where the scoring rate from penalties wasnāt very good (might have been just before Mo joined us?)
