Bergamp joined us when we finished 12th. Left us as CL finalists.

Henry joined us when we were challenging for trophies. Left us clinging on to fourth at the start of a barren run for trophies

Didn't improve at all with Henry

Maria is the first name of either his paternal or maternal granny - or his godmother (usually it's both).

Nicolaas is the first name of one of his grandfathers - or his godfather (usually it's both).

During the 20th century it was very common in the Benelux to have a second name that refers to one, or both grandparents.

Thought it'd be something like that.

That's a cool tradition tbh.

Green Sims was his rebellious stage.

It's when he needed guidance, luckily Cripps and I were there to nurture him through that trying phase.

So what am I then the disciplinarian while you lot molly coddle him?

He'll thank me for it when he's older and he has a winners mentality.
