Re: Birmingham City misfit Cheikh Ndoye set for a return to football

I know this is a brazen plug, but, just for the record, this is what I wrote about N'Doye in my recent book, [www.pitchpublishing.co.uk]


Rumour – and that’s all it was – had it that ‘Arry was in infrequent attendance at a chaotic pre-season. He brought in lots of players – three of them from Brentford – for undisclosed fees and hiked up the wage bill. He bought Cheikh N'Doye from French club, Angers. My own playing ‘career’ was at the lowest levels but I do know that I have played with better players than Cheikh N'Doye. He and his agent must have a gold-framed picture of ‘Arry adorning their palatial residences as they count their money and wonder at their astonishing good luck.

But good luck to him. A Blues favourite, Aliou Cisse, though he was worth bringing on as a sub in the World Cup. Makes you wonder.
