which non-smiling "unique character" black player like roy keane, stevie G or party man pogbs do they "love".
every black footy breh that gets that sort of praise flashes those gums and keeps his arrogance in check. otherwise he wouldn't be loved.
...
which "no nonsense" breh like cantona, keane, terry is "loved" by brits? which zlatan type? zlatan is like mayweather and we see how much mayweather's "unique personality" is loved
...
gruff rough-edged people like ian botham, nigel mansell or keane are loved .. glitzy crehs like beckham, george best, gascoigne are loved .. normal black men like lewis, hamilton and christie are only "respected" while subservient grinning, skinning brehs like frank bruno, dwight yorke and mo farah get that love in their place.
skinning and grinning, laughing and joking brehs is what they love ...
'If I said what Roy Keane does, I'd never work again': Stan Collymore on punditry, racism, struggling to fit in... and why he's delighted to be back at Southend United after 28 YEARS away
- Stan Collymore is enjoying working as Southend's senior football strategist
- Collymore felt most at home at Southend during his eventful playing career
- He admits that it was more difficult for him the higher he climbed in football
- There are exciting plans at Southend for a new 22,000-capacity stadium
"‘It’s disappointing for me to have disappeared to a degree but then I knew the only way for me to do a mainstream radio show was to be really funny or contrary. I don’t think, for example, there could be a black Roy Keane. To go on and say, “I wouldn’t let that player on the bus home” or “I would knock him out”. If I said that I would never work again.
‘Roy gets away with it because he was a respected captain and a fiery Irishman. An aggressive black guy? Not quite the same.’"
So, how did Stan Collymore end up saving Southend? The striker is back at the lowly club | Daily Mail Online

This is going to be a massive flop. The Série A brand isn’t strong enough in The States to draw casual fans without the star players playing.

The Ulrika incident and the dogging didn't do him any favours. His lucky he managed to have the broadcast career he has had
Was the first athlete I can remember to highlight depression while still playing and not after the fact and he got a lot of shyt for that.
Collymore was probably the most talented English striker of the 90's. If you saw his Southend and Forest highlights
. Liverpool career up was pretty decent for the first 18 months. The hattrick on his Leicester debut.

Robbie Fowler was the most talented of the 1990s, and I say that as an avid hater of all things Liverpool.
He was fukking unreal.
Collymore was very fukking good, though.

Fowler should of been the best but he was done and peaked way too early. He was the best finisher and had the touch to be a creator but I've seen variants of Fowler in Owen (Finishing) Rooney (IQ) Defoe.(No backlift movement) even before Fowler in Ian Wright (Variety of finishes) What variants of Collymore have we seen since? The closest is probably Voldemort
Greenwood and that's for the ability to shoot with either foot outside of the box. And not the other thing
If Stan was a Brazilian called Stan or Collinho he would of been held in higher regard
What English striker you seen do this type of thing regularly?

I remember it all too well with all of those players. I never feared any of them like I feared Fowler as am opposition fan. He is probably the only Liverpool player that I wanted Arsenal to sign. He was, at least to me, a different level to Stan.
i think Collymore was best at Forest. He was immense at Southend, but that was obviously a much lower level. Tbf, he was unplayable a couple of levels down - far better than most others down there.
To be honest, I think both Fowler & Collymore were instruments of their own demises. Certainly off-the-field issues contributed to shorter careers than they could’ve had.
Edit: I’ll add that Rooney also struck the fear of god into me when he played against us. He was devastating against Arsenal.
