a good stab Hornby, i like the johnsesque avatar, did you diy?
but it is not turdy sheringham, he has never played in the 3rd or 4th tier.
also btw i have got over the ghost stuff, it came as a bit of a shock. not a real ghost but somebody i used to know who used to feel like a chorus girl and now feels like a whore.
anyway it's not sheringham

Is it Steve Finnan? I know he played for Fulham and so he was possibly on their books during their ascent through the leagues.
I couldn't tell you if he's played in the Conference though

hurrah! foreign words,
this is right up my street.
i believe the finnish word for soapstone seller is saippukavivakuppias or something like that.
i'd be surprised if any language could beat that

If not I'll try the native Kiwi language.

The other (slightly longer) words being
saippuakuppinippukaupias (soap-cup trader) and
solutomaattimittaamotulos (the result from a measurement laboratory for tomatoes).
