For those heading out to watch us against Toulouse:
"I take the avenue towards school My schoolbag is stuffed with punches Here, if you hit, you win Here, even the grannies love fighting (la castagne)" (according to the translator on lyricstranslate: 'la castagne' refers to the love of the game of rugby among the toulousains)
His whole time here has been firefighting, so I will be interested to see how he gets on if he does go to Leicester (although maybe some firefighting will be required there too).
When he first came in he brought a bit of class to proceedings with his decision-making on the ball. Last season it looked like he had run out of steam.
I prefer to think of him having ascended rather than left.
Around the same time there was a similar song to Howzat produced in the UK: Sky High by Jigsaw. Not really anything to do with Australia, although it was used as the theme to an Australian-Hong Kong film of the time, The Man from Hong Kong.
Compared to some of the players that came in at the same time under Beale, such as Laird, he's been quite reliable.
Given his lack of height he has always had problems with balls delivered over him. When that happens he has had to wait for the opposition player to bring the ball down and then try and stop crosses coming in once the ball is on the ground.
As others have said he is quite mobile (although can get caught out of position). A lot seems to depend on who has near him: this season it just didn't work when he was paired with Fox away at Swansea in December (lost 3-0). Stoke away with Andersen in front of him a few weeks ago was another mess (lost 3-1).
One of my all-time favourites, and once a signature tune of mine, for ladies and gentlemen, I was a teenage nihilist (before I encountered Marxism and understood that the problems of society were not insoluble).
