They still passionately resented Ken Bates and his Chelsea connections. The fans were even happier when McAllister inspired enough of a revival for the team to qualify for the Play Offs. It was disappointing to lose the Wembley final, but there was genuine promise at last. After the turmoil of the previous summer, the 2008 close season was in stark contrast an oasis of tranquillity and preparations for the new campaign almost perfect. McAllister persuaded Swansea wide man Andy Robinson to forsake the certainty of Championship football and throw in his lot with Leeds. Leicester left-back Alan Sheehan made a loan move permanent and he was soon joined by Bristol City target man Enoch Showunmi, young Livingstone winger Rob Snodgrass and the Argentinian, Luciano Becchio. The South American striker began his career with Boca Juniors, around the same time as Carlos Tevez, before spells at Barcelona and Mallorca.

And then you are a footballer, and you’re suddenly in the strangest, most baffling world of all. A world where one team-mate comes to training in a bright red suit with matching top-hat, cane and glasses, without any actual glass in them, and another has so many sports cars they forget they have left a Porsche at the train station. Even when their surname is incorporated in the registration plate. So walk with me into the dressing-room, to find out which players refuse to touch a football before a game, to discover why a load of millionaires never have any shower-gel, and to hear what Cristiano Ronaldo says when he looks at himself in the mirror. ABOUT THE AUTHOR First things first: yes I am very tall, no the weather isn’t different up here, and no I don’t play basketball. Glad that’s out the way. I’ve been a professional footballer for 20 years, have 42 England caps, have scored over 100 Premier League goals and hold the record for the most headed goals in Premier League history. I’ve been at a fair few clubs too, including Queens Park Rangers, Portsmouth, Aston Villa, Norwich, Southampton, Liverpool, Portsmouth, Tottenham Hotspur, Stoke and England.
