Stu Holden is Still Adorable with a Broken Leg (A Soccer AM Recap)

Stu Holden was missed on Saturday in the game against Birmingham, but just because he can’t play doesn’t mean we don’t get to see him. While his teammates were kitting up, Stu was on Soccer AM, playing Jenga, wearing cowboy hats, and other important things. If you missed it (as I myself did), I am here to recap all of the very important bits for you, with my commentary, which really is better than watching it live. Links to the actual videos at the end of the post.

They opened the interview with a highlight reel of Stu’s Bolton days. It was hard for me to watch, and it must’ve been even harder for poor old Stu. However, there was comic relief as in the reel was a clip of Stu and Paul Robinson performing one of the oddest celebrations I’ve seen, which you may recognise. They both reached for their knee and just fell over.

If you are confused, fear not, as the first question was about exactly what was going on. Holden said that it was actually an inside joke with the kit man, that Stu and Robbo were poking fun at him for a time he attempted to put on a sock and fell over. This is an example of why I love this club. There is such unity top to bottom, and this celebration that demonstrated that.

Next came the highlight of the entire show, and that is Stu Holden in a cowboy hat. Just take a second, appreciate. I’ll be here when you’re done.

After the hats were (unfortunately) removed, the conversation turned to the injury. On the surface Stu has remained very positive, saying he’ll come back stronger and a better player. But as the show points out, this is his second serious injury in the last 12 months, he has to get down sometime. On the subject he said, “It’s a bummer because you can’t do what you love doing, or even the simplest of things like pick up a shoe.” The camera sympathetically took a close up of the broken leg in question.

Luckily for Stu, he does have a support system, most notably his little brother Euan, who traveled down to London with him for the interview. Stu posted this photo of Euan on Twitter on the journey, and Euan said (on Twitter) that he would regret it. Well, I have a feeling I know what Euan’s revenge was. It came out on the show that Stu was actually a huge computer nerd. He competed in the Cyber Olympics. I’m not sure which was more shocking to me, the fact that there is a Cyber Olympics, or the fact that Stu competed. Of course, Stu was adorably bashful about the whole thing, so it was all ok.

They moved on to his part time jobs, including as a grocery bagger, and I would like to add, never have I seen a grocery bagger as cute as Stu at my grocery store. I feel cheated. He said that although he would not be taking up a part time job during this injury, he would keep busy, cleaning people’s apartments and such. Exactly whose abode will Stu be cleaning? My guess is Klasnic. Look at the bromantic connection.

The actual interview drew to an end, but really this was a good thing as Stu put the cowboy hat back on. Note the pro air-lassoing form he displays.

Later in the show, he was challenged to speed Jenga. Naturally, he won. And looked cute doing it.

There was also a small segment of the show where he was asked what the 3 things he would bring to England from America were. He thought hard about it, as the face in the adjoining photo shows. Finally he decided that he would bring the sun, cheerleaders (Reebok Rebels not doing it for you Stu?) and swimming pools, but not before the presenters gave him suggestions. They shouted out “twinkies? muffins and maple syrup?” As Mark asked, is this what they think we are? Twinkies, muffins, and maple syrup.

Best Soccer Gift Ideas Christmas 2010

Nov 20, 2010

Christmas is fast approaching and it is that time of the season when we do our shopping for our near and dear ones. A greater percentage Christmas shopping is done online these days thanks to quick deliveries and cheap shipping rates offered by merchants.

Here are some soccer gift ideas for Christmas 2010. These could be the ideal gift for your father, husband, boyfriend or little kid who loves soccer.

Top 10 Soccer Gifts Ideas ( Merchandise)

1.) Club Soccer Jerseys

There is nothing better than wearing the jersey of your favourite club. Jerseys of Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, Barcelona and Real Madrid sell the most because of the big names associated with these soccer teams.

Jerseys are available in various sizes- they are available for babies as well as adults.

Jerseys can either be replica ones or authentic ( the ones actually worn by the players on the pitch)

2.) National Soccer Jerseys

National jerseys are also a great way of supporting your nation. Spain, Germany, Portugal, Holland and England are the best sellers in Europe currently. Spain are the current World champions.

You can buy a full kit consisting of jerseys, shorts and socks or just one of the three.

3.) Hero Soccer Jerseys

Another option is to buy your jersey with the name of your favourite player printed on the back. Hero soccer jerseys of Fernando Torres, Andrei Arshavin, Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, amongst others, are in high demand.

4.) Soccer Track Jackets

Another excellent gift for the cold weather. Most clubs and nations have personalised track jackets and track tops for their fans. The N98 Series by Nike and the Adidas Originals Series by Adidas are a must see.

5.) Soccer Cleats

From the Adidas F50 Zero to Nike’s Mercurial Vapor series, soccer cleats can make for an excellent Christmas gift for budding enthusiasts.

6.) Soccer Presentation Suits/ Warm up Suits.

These consist of both jackets/track tops and pants.

7.) Retro Jerseys

Roll back the years by buying one of these!! These jerseys make you stand out from the rest of the crowd.

8.) Signed Soccer Jerseys

Authentic signed Soccer Jerseys from the likes of Maradona, Pele, Steven Gerrard and co. also make for great Christmas gifts. However these are slightly expensive- so make your purchase carefully.

9.) Soccer Match Balls

Balls like the Adidas Jabulani ( used for the 2010 World Cup) and Adidas Torfabrik ( for the Bundesliga 10/11 season) are also sure to delight friends and family.

10.) Miscellaneous Soccer Gifts

These consist of DVD’s ( if you want to re watch that special game), scarves, posters, flags and other similar gifts.

Good luck with your holiday shopping!

So who said that Soccer is a low scoring game ?

By Anish on September 9, 2010 3:05 AM | Comments | TrackBacksShare|

Amateur team Leeds Badgers beat the Warwickshire Wolves by 425 goals to 354.
That puts an end to any theory that soccer is a low scoring game and therefore boring.
(However if you read the fine print you will discover that the game in question - with the phenomenal score - went on for 57 hours ..!)
The event was a fundraiser for the treatment of meningitis.It was played at Warwick University in memory of Jamie Burdett, a Leeds Badgers player who died from meningitis three years ago.
