    Used to play against him at school in the late 90s. He was year 9 I was year 7 he was insanely talented! Got on well with him then he went on to play for Margate then Chelsea I believe (I think youth team) then I didn't hear of him till he went to Bristol City then he was in the Prem with Reading. I was pleased to see he went from King Ethelbert School in Kent to the heights of Premier league he was that good.
    All I had was a good free kick and could run (thought myself of a Beckham character lol) I only got as far as Sunday League

    knowing someone who came to England after fleeing the Congo I know he had a determination, a drive to succeed that was beyond belief, growing up on a council estate in Boro I believe/hope I have some drive and my mate was the only person I know who could work all day, all night then repeat for just under 60 hours straight (for nothing more then a handshake bet, who can outlast the other lol) before we both decided what we were doing was actually counterproductive as a lack of sleep begin the hallucinations for us both lol, but I've gotta respect that drive, that never say die attitude, also i bet Leroy Lita could have given Paul Daniels a run for his money the amount of times he was disappearing lol, strange coincidence too my pal from the Congo could fall out and hold a grudge forever, over daft petty, lads being lads crap, (sound familiar lol) UTB

      Probably not the best choice of words given the history of colonialism and the brutality of the rubber plantations and whatnot, but the leaders in DR Congo and Belgium were in cahoots after independence, “protecting” Belgian economic interests there, such as that of Union Minière, until Mobutu came along.
