Ferguson and Claridge

Good news for my two favourite footballers:

Duncan Ferguson has backed up a verbal agreement by signing a new one-year contract, and even spoke to the official site about what he's still got left to offer. Since Super Kev left, the famous number 9 shirt is now available and I for one hope it's returned to the rightful owner for his swansong.

Elsewhere, BBC Sport claim that Steve Claridge will be appointed Millwall manager later today. Claridge was hard done by Portsmouth and I can even forgive him for moving to Weymouth (a team I hate, hate, hate). As centre-forwards go, his lack of pace and anachronistic style belied incredible technique and intelligence.
