Bill, a Geordie geologist and Sunderland fan added: “Looey the Tooth must learn not to bite. It is a bad thing to do and he won’t have friends in Liverpool…or Rome…or wherever he will earn too much money running around in shorts hitting balls into the back of a net instead of having a real job.”
He’s the gift that keeps on giving, that lad
