And Christophe was a World Cup winner.
And when I got the phone call that Christophe Dugary is going to come and play for Birmingham.
Anyway, he ended up on a plane and I picked him up from Birmingham airport and I took him back to this rented house.
I was in Birmingham at the time.
And we're just having a conversation.
I said, Eric, listen, we're up against it.
Christoph, we're up against it.
His best mate was Zidane, by the way.
And I'm sitting off and thinking, he's never going to sign for us.
And I get him a cup of tea and...
My missus is out, so I'm looking for biscuits or something like that in front of me, you know what I mean, to give him.
And I ended up with his rich tea, right?
So I put them on the plate with him.
Anyway, after about an hour we were talking, he said...
I'll sign tomorrow.
I remember it like that.
I'll sign tomorrow.
He said, but the biscuits are absolutely shite.
He was right as well.
He was right as well.
