The Secret Footballer

[Chinners]

There is no way Beckham would keep anything he does secret ... how would he get the adulation he craves?

The Stig?

Danny Murphy?

We had topic about this and Murphy remains my guess as well. What we know about this feller through his columns all fits Murphy. He seems particularly intelligent and thoughtful for a footballer. Murphy has lower league experience, England experience and experience of both title fight and relegation fight. He mentions having good Scandinavian friend in football and I know Murphy was mates with Hyypia. He has family as does Murphy.

In fact I'd be pretty shocked if it wasn't him.

Has he wasted all his cash? Doesn't the snippet this time mention a big tax bill taking his money?

In this article he mentions being with one of his former clubs for 5 years, which fits with Murphy at Fulham - he strongly implies he isn't in the Prem any more either, which fits with Murphy signing for Blackburn. I think you're onto something.

I always thought it was Danny Murphy.

Now he is out of the Premiership it makes sense that the book would come out now.

It's Nicky Shorey, 100%

He was never a record signing for any of the clubs he played for.

[Goaters 103]

Always assumed it was Kevin Davies.

[ross.mcfc]

Neither Shorey or Davis were in the England squad around the time of Trevor Sinclair playing for England.

It was the secret footballer's friend who was in the England squad

It seems you are right.

Really can't think of anyone else. Maybe Kevin Phillips but somehow I can't see him quoting Proust having seen his interviews.

Same here, plus I heard he suffered from depression which is partly why he stuck with Bolton so long as it was a comfortable club who supported him through his bouts of depression.

Must be Savic, he is still manages to keep it secret when he is actually on the pitch.

That's a weird bit of trivia but I suppose Gary Speed got cozy there too.

[HeyMark]

Some Danish journo has apparently come out and claimed it is Dave Kitson.

Talk about disappointing.

No wonder he kept it a fucking secret.
