He was absolutely unplayable one season for Bristol City. I'd hoped that was the thing Chuks would bring for us, the bulldozing strength with bags of skill. Seemingly similar to Chuks though in that he couldn't cut it at Championship level and then just faded into nothing. Let's hope Chuks doesn't follow that last part.
Professional footballer Jay Emmanuel-Thomas has been arrested for orchestrating the importation of drugs.
The 33-year-old striker, who currently plays for Greenock Morton, was arrested at his home in Gourock, near Glasgow, on Wednesday and taken to Carlisle for questioning.
He has been remanded in custody and is expected to appear before Carlisle Magistrates on Thursday, accused of importing class B drugs.
It comes after officers from the National Crime Agency (NCA) discovered 60kg of cannabis with an estimated value of £600,000 in suitcases arriving at Stansted airport from Bangkok.

Had nothing to do with it apparently, even though it's his missus, he played in Thailand recently (probably when he got roped into it) and he's the one that's been organising the flights etc for them
