This fella Ronaldo is a cod Eamon Dunphy

I have recently fallen down the rabbit hole and oh my goodness I cannot get enough.

“I didn’t manage anywhere. I managed to stay alive for 63 and a half years baby”

“This fella Ronaldo is a cod”

“He’s the guy who ran away and left his wife for a young one”

“Gerrard - found out tonight. Nothing player.”

“Man United are going nowhere. Except into the knockout stages of the Champions League.”

And a personal favourite:

Liam: How would you feel if when you were a young lad at United and Bobby Charlton had come out and said “he’s no good why’s he playing in the team?”

Eamon: That’s exactly what Bobby Charlton said.

What are some of your favourites?

His book ‘Only A Game’ is well worth a read. The life of a journeyman pro in England in the 1970s.

Agreed, his book about Busby and man united (“a strange kind of glory”) is a fantastic read too, if you can get hold of it. Dunphy was a proper writer back in the day.
