Is he gay? Just wondered with the flag

 

[Antonb]

i remember one goal i saw him score, I was behind the goal on the kop , and the ball had been bouncing around the goal, and it came to him and he just stroked it into the net as cool as you like. Not his best goal by any means, I just remember how calm he was when it dropped to him with players in the way and the keeper. Like he had all the time in the world!

 

[Russ]

What about the one he was clear through, the keeper was advancing, so he feigned to shoot, keeper went down and then he simply slotted it in. Brilliant

I remember him saying that a Gareth Bale goal was the best thing to come out of Wales since Catherine Zeta-Jones, so I imagine not, but in all honesty I don't know.

 

[imp998]

Remember going to stockport, I think he banged in about 4 goals

Does this add substance to my earlier post ?

 

[mattbianco1]

Enough of that... Get yourself onto FIFA

 

[Bearlie]

I dont think he is gay tbh, however when I was speaking to his boyfriend .......

 

[KoppedOff]

He wasn't, but a couple of hours in the company of Chris Wilder swung him.

Reminds me of the time I was hanging out the back of this guy, and he turns around and has the cheek to call ME gay

Bugger it....Well it was still a bloody good goal!!

He's been with his wife since they were teenagers. Jan Åge's son Markus plays for Hamilton in Scotland.

Jan Åge's from the same area as me and his father refereed a couple of my games when I was young.

 

[Bearlie]

No gays have ever graced the red and white stripes ,not to my knowledge

 

[Mojo]

I remember he lobbed the keeper from quite far out against someone, pompey maybe?

 

[Ricardo Mantelban]

Are you a gay tied to a tree?

No!!!

Gay on the loose! Gay on the loose!

 

[Bert]

Steve Thompson told Bert that JAF was very nesh and often he was on the bench for away fans because of that, whereas his compatriot Neilson had been in the army and was as hard as nails.

 

[Elvis Legs]

He had massive legs, always kept his coat on in the pre-game warm up and scored some fucking belters for us. I remember away at Huddersfield and they had a Freddie Mercury impersonator on the pitch singing before the game. He had that leotard thing on and was giving it some when the ball went near him and Fjortoft fucking levelled him. Absolutely creamed him, and I don't think he realised how hard he hit him till the bloke had to be helped to his feet and hobbled off. Nearly pissed me sen, still makes me laugh now.

Fucking great player, he'd be a monster in our current team.

Both these goals were the same match, I believe. One was a terrific lob from outside the area, the other was odd - Fjortoft went down the channel with a defender and dived for a penalty. The defender and 'keeper both stopped, whereupon Fjortoft got back up and scored from a tight angle. Cheeky fucker.
