We read them so you don’t have to
A gentle teaser for the weekend led to correct answers from Sam Dale, Bigshow, Alvin Chang, Teshner, Dark Knight, Mizman, Q, Perdo Jardim, Stephie and MwepuLlunga, who all guessed that this extract was from Ryan Giggs’ autobiography. Goodie bags have been emailed to one and all.
Today’s entry of the ungoogleable competition that is the watercooler topic of conversation at every office in the country, can be found below. Who used some crayolas to write the following:
The one I have had trouble understanding is, ‘you fat bastard.’ I have always been among the leanest of specimens. Perhaps I have looked a bit blobby sometimes in midwinter down the years because I have to wear several T-shirts under my shirt. I feel the cold so badly, due to having an under-active thyroid gland as a result of taking pills for that heart defect I was diagnosed with when I was a teenager.
Leave your answer below, and the actual answer will be unveiled in tomorrow’s installment.
UPDATE - No correct answer thus far so we have our first rollover. Two pats on the back on offer therefore, if anyone can spot the winner. Today’s clue, is that it is the author’s second book, and this one focuses more on his brief managerial career to date.

I’m going for John Barnes!
21 MwepuLlunga // Oct 20, 2009 at 1:13 pm
Johnny Barnes has always been quite open about his ‘eating habits’ so I’m doubtful it could be him, Maradona has only written one book so he’s out….who the f*ck is it!! Gazza!? Puskas!? Please put us out of our misery!!
22 MwepuLlunga // Oct 20, 2009 at 1:17 pm
Steve Claridge…

Alan Shearer is another candidate
25 MwepuLlunga // Oct 20, 2009 at 1:28 pm
Could Molby’s managerial career be described as brief… I’m gonna take a punt on another Scandinavian fat b*stard and go for Thonas Brolin!! (Managed Palace with Lombardo for a few games). If the book mentions hoovers we’re there!
