What I remember of his playing days, he would hang around near the goalmouth waiting for a team-mate to pass the ball to him, rather than doing any tackling.

Hmmm.....I hope it's not going to be another episode of applying modern day thinking to historic events and discovering the personality of an ancestor via historic records. (having just read the Mirror article about today's episode.)

Let's hope I'm wrong.

I hope Gary doesn't conclude that he felt drawn to stealing crisps in the Walker's adverts because it was in his genes!
