How great is that, John Carew Carew would have been a good agent name imo, and Gabby, i think Nil Lamptey or Dejemba Djemba would be a bit werid

There`s a guy on here(Vital Villa) called Frankus.I think he lives in Australia.Anyway,he put me onto Lee Child`s Jack Reacher series.
They are a great read.I`m up to about number 17 i think now.
As I started to read them all sorts of Villa references popped up,with the players and managers` names to a reference in one of the books about when we won the European Cup,so I became inquisitive and googled the author,who it turns out, went to the same junior school and the same senior school as me and lived in Handsworth Wood,where I lived.
He`s about 9 years older so I don`t remember him and Lee Child is his alais anyway.His real name is Jim Grant.
