What They Got For Xmas

THE Fishy has this morning visited all the Town players to see what they got for Christmas, and there have been some surprising findings.

Anthony Williams: An alarm clock: to stop mistakes late in games
Paul Fraser: a Gameboy - to play while sitting on the bench/in the stands
John McDermott and Justin Whittle: tickets to see Peter Pan at the theatre: to inspire them
Simon Ramsden: the captain's armband: because I have heard him actually shout in games and lead the back 3/4/5/whatever
Tony Crane: anger management therapy: his main problem cured instantly!
Dean Gordon and Terrell Forbes: a house in the Grimsby area: to make them stay
Rob Jones: Tony Adams' autobiography - from laughing stock to England skipper!
Ronnie Bull: a permission slip: not to play in reserve games (and thus not get injured in them)
Stacy Coldicott and Terry Fleming: a DVD by Frank Lampard: how to score goals from midfield
Thomas Pinault: a minder, when he gets man-marked we play badly
Graham Hockless: a loan spell with a team that actually play him, to enlarge or explode the 'Hockless is great' myth
Andy Parkinson: a map of Blundell Park: with emphasis on where the goal is
Michael Reddy: a copy of July and August editions of the Grimsby Evening Telegraph, so he can read all the praise Slade heaped on him and be inspired
Ashley Sestanovich and David Soames: some sort of neck brace: to keep their heads up when they run
Colin Cramb: a strike partner called Martin Gritton: self-explanatory
Darren Mansaram: body building equipment: make him scarier to defenders
Greg Young:, Kirk Wheeler, Ashley Hildred: a joint column in the Grimsby Evening Telegraph: so we can find out how their various loan spells have been going
Gio Carchedi: a non-league loan spell - he must be feeling left out
Glen Downey: nothing, what's he ever given us!?!?
Graham Rodger: A copy of Championship Manager 2005 - it's the closest he'll get to the real thing.
Rusell Slade: A Who's Who of Stockport's Reserve side, to help him pick loan signings.
