I dunno, the analogy i was thinking of when you're at uni and meet a lass, she's a looker but you're on different paths and never really interact. You get a career, you get married, have kids, mortgage, all going cushty, until one day it all ends, you end up in huge debt having lost your job, have to move back in with the parents and then one night you're in the boozer and you see that lass from years ago, you get cracking on and before you know it, you realised you were made for eachother you're in a relationship, step dad to 3 kids, you eventually clear your debts and you get back on track and lifes good again.
That might be what russell martin is.
