The Garth Crooks Wisdom Thread

[Jairzinho]

He's mentally ill, isn't he?

[Babb'sBurstNad]

I like how he just tries to cram every player who scores into his team of the week; ending up with essentially a 2-3-5 formation with about four left wingers.

 

I have a theory that he's actually blind, like Donald Pleasance in The Great Escape, and he's just winging it.

If Garth Crooks didn't exist Joey Barton might have a point...

[cloggypop]

He wasn't even particularly known for heading the ball.

A head the ball is appropriate for Garth.

Eats crayons that fella. How he's still paid by the BBC I have no idea.

You know those fellas that collect trolleys in supermarket car parks and always seem to be a bit slow? He is the BBC’s version of that.

Has Crooks ever been right about anything?

 

In fairness, he used to get fisted by Roger De Coursey for a living.

He maybe a bit of a wally and he may despise us.

But unfortunately unlike many others he has every right to hate the shit out of Liverpool.

I don't think he does hate us, he is an oddball but generally positive about us, and he absolutely  loves Mo.

To be honest I hadn't really took much notice of him to be able to say one way or the other.

If he has been positive about us he's a bigger man than I could've been given the terrible stick he received off the old Kop.

For fun, or were you employed there?

 

A fine tribute to the great man-

Yep.

To be honest he must have received that abuse everywhere at that time though. Nobody was an innocent party( Crooks aside of course) in that racial abuse of players.

You wouldn't let him babysit your kids.

[Creator Supreme]

I don't think he ever got over being eaten by sharks in Live and Let Die.

He'd be great at keeping an eye on them though.
