Has the fitba world gone mad or is it me... 80 million shekels for a wee diego from the back streets of Maderia. I am reminded of the words of my auld Pal Peter Lees from Holytown when talking about local fitba players from his areas with such beautiful subriquets as 'Tickety Mitchell' and 'Stoorie McSpadyen'. Peter used to say when the weans kicked a ba' about the miners rows and if they lobbed the ba' over the roof of the cottages 'it either hit a bar stud or a champion on the other side'. What price a young Jinky Johnstone , Jim Baxter or Kenny Dalglish thesdays.

Ah think he's actually a better actor than fitba' player. He would give DeNiro a run for his money.
Great player who spoils his reputation with his 'big Jessie' antics.
