One is from your own team-mates, and that`s the only way.` Terry Venables Filling in a credit card application form, Jason McAteer came to the question that asked: `What is your position in the company?` his answer was `right-back`.An intelligent footballer is one whose I.Q. is higher than his shirt number.
