    How can you forget Mickey Thomas

    "Even fans too young to have seen Thomas in action for the Uniteds of Manchester and Leeds, Chelsea, Everton and the rest know of his exploits, and have seen that wonderful free-kick which helped Fourth Division Wrexham knock Arsenal, the league champions, out of the FA Cup in 1992. His indiscretions also include the indignity of being stabbed in the bum by his former brother-in law as he shagged the brother-in-law's missus in a car up a country lane in 1992. Ironically, the same reputation which deterred many managers is now his greatest asset. 'My name helps me all the time. It's my notoriety that does it,' he admits."

    Mickey

    well he is Welsh

    'So Roy Keane's on 50 grand a week. Mind you, I was on 50 grand a week until the police found my printing machine!' - Mickey Thomas

    Getting 18 months in jail over a counterfeit currency scam wasn't the lowest point of Mickey Thomas's long and controversy laden career.

    Didn't Roy Carroll have to go into re-hab for something recently - can't remember if it was drinking, gambling or both.
