Toby or not Toby Posted 25 April 2011 Posted 25 April 2011 Just been watching this and he said he failed a medical at Leicester before he signed for Tranmere because of dodgy groins, can anyone remember this? He also said that the medicals at Leicester were made tougher as we had signed players on high wages who were injured more or less straight away, any ideas who? Lee Morris springs to mind? John Aldridge on also and he told the story of when he slapped Theo Zagorakis for clapping Clint Hill being set off in the final
Wasyls Pec Deck Posted 25 April 2011 Posted 25 April 2011 I saw that as well, vaguely remember being linked with him. Didn't need him, seem to remember Billy McKinlay doing a sterling job that season!

sdb Posted 25 April 2011 Posted 25 April 2011 Some hilarious McAteer stories around from his time at Liverpool. Not the brightest.
Cat Burger Posted 25 April 2011 Posted 25 April 2011 I remember it appeared on the OS that he had signed, but then when he went to Tranmere it seemed that he had chosen them over us. Cue McAteer bashing, not sure who to believe!
tomtom Posted 25 April 2011 Posted 25 April 2011 Some hilarious McAteer stories around from his time at Liverpool. Not the brightest. On seeing Stephen Henry in a bar shouting "180" at him still my fave,...thickest footballer of all time?
sdb Posted 25 April 2011 Posted 25 April 2011 Haha. yeah. And when asked if he wanted his pizza cut into 4's or 6's, he says '4's cause i'm not very hungry'. Also locked himself out of his car, calls police, they ask him to get a coathanger to do the lock and he comes out with a wooden one! When filling in a credit card application and it asks 'position in company' he ponders out loud 'should i put midfielder or defender?'
Soar Fox Posted 25 April 2011 Posted 25 April 2011 In another incident during Ireland's successful World Cup campaign in America, McAteer was asked by team-mates if he wanted a game of golf. McAteer replied that he didn't, and relaxed in his hotel watching television. Upon switching to the sports channel he saw that the Open golf was on, turned to one of the team's non-playing personnel and asked "Is that the lads playing golf then?
Soar Fox Posted 25 April 2011 Posted 25 April 2011 Another story has Alan Thompson an ex-Bolton team mate of Jason asking Jason to - 'pass the tomato ketchup' and the answer Alan gets back from Jason is - 'Red or brown'
