Good for Gooch

This quote instantly brightened by day. In my playing days I was a tall, for soccer standards, defender who can truly relate to his comment. Although, that's about all I have in common with Gooch.

"He was complaining I elbowed him in the head. So I said: 'Look at where your head is, I can't help it if you're so short you only come up to my elbow.' He smiled and said 'You've got a point there'."
