On our way home he said " why doesn't Merrick put Manny back as holding mid and put Caira back at left back". I'd had a few more shandies by that stage and couldn't really answer him. 



Open him up a sports betting account ASAP! How old is he?

On a similar note, my 5 year old daughter had me in stiches. Usually I have the games on tv (don't live in wellington) and she might be around but never actively watching. Today she walks in to the living room and Brockie is on the screen... Followed by 'oh Brockies back.....(long pause)....... I don't know why he's back'. It was pretty amazing, I'm so proud.

My wife who doesn't follow football at all noticed how often they mentioned his name at the start if the season, and would take the piss out of the commentators when they talked about him, so she must of picked up on that. And possibly the comments I have made about him at times this year... Got to be careful what you say in front of kids! They take it all in...

Apologies for grammar writing on my shitty phone.
