          I swear Terry Cooke is following me around this weekend. First off I was reading an old copy of UWS on the toilet, and there was an article about him and some other ex-Reds playing in the States. Then he appears in a game of Grimbsy Town 2003 Top Trumps I played. Then he gets a mention on a different forum I use. And now you, AIATL, mention him.

          I mean, I'm all for serendipity and that, but for fuck's sake, Terry Cooke. How many instances do I need to experience before I realise that something is going on? Something from a higher plane?
