In boxing terms it was like Ali v Foreman in Zaire all over again where we were totally backs to the wall and lucked out against the run of play with a last minute penalty.

I haven't been on here for a few days so I'm just catching up with posts. Glad to see you still live by this maxim Rhodes "Talk shy, tall knight"

Lato - You're becoming Mr Predictable, home from work at 4.45 then straight on here rather than just settling down in front of the tv with some tea and toast to watch Neighbours, The News, Emmerdale, Coronation Street and Eastenders like normal people, I think Jake dies tonight in Eastenders by the way!

You don't read peoples posts do you Rhodes, what they actually say rather than what they think you say.

You were even wrong about Jake, Rhodes! Supposition again!

[Rhodes]

Well I suppose I can't be right all the time. I've just got in, did Paula come to your game today or did she stand you up, she didn't show up at our game at Harpenden which is a shame as she would have met the great Clement Temile and seen for herself how average our players are.

At last, you've admitted it.

Incidentally, I have just had a look at the SSML Div 1 Table for the first time this season. It is certainly already beginning to shape up as a two-horse race between Brimsdown Rovers and Stony Stratford Town. I was, however, surprised to see that there are TWO sides punching way above their weight in the top four! What are Ampthill Town doing up there?

Rhodes did u know Uefa "a" coach Clement Temile was on the same course for the mentiioned Badge as george Lappas!? Now Coaching at Haringay?

[Rhodes]

3praise - Are you sure as Clement knows George and didn't mention anything to me, I also didn't spot him when I went up to Lilleshall to visit Clement, did George tell you that Roy Keane and Peter Beardsley were on the course.

[3praise]

I do have it on good understanding that they where on the same course! The pro players u mentioned where not spoke of as more importantly there was a nigerian international on the course!!!!!!

[Rhodes]

I will e-mail George and ask him myself, that's if 'Sugar' hasn't barred him from responding to any contact from me as is the case with the other Coaches and players at the Club.

Yeah right people were beating down his door attempting to get him to coach their teams, just see the message (link below) he left on another messageboard trying to get a job. I particularly liked the bit at the end which says 'there were no replies to this message'.

3praise - Someone has already beaten you to it on that one but I'm glad you went to the trouble of googling the great man's name. As I explained to Spidermanor he placed the advert a number of years ago and has since worked at Charlton with their youth academy and has done coaching work with the London FA, the man is a living legend so you can't knock him.

The above is a link to the CAF (Confederation of African Football) website where you can vote for the best African footballer of the last 50 years. And surprisingly despite his superstar status Clement Temile isn't there. I find that shocking for a man who allegedly is worshipped as a god in his home country. Or have we been misled?????

[cantos]

When did he change his name to Great.

[Sharming Paula]

Maybe he's like them dogs (Great Danes). He might be a big man <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Lato - A recent article from the Nigerian Tribune comparing Paul Scoles to Clement amongst other Nigerian 'Gods' of football, are you satisfied now. It also touches on the in-accuracy of goalscoring records being kept in Nigeria and Clement certainly scored more than eight for the Super Eagles in his long and illustrious International career:

THE PAUL SCHOLES EFFECT

“NO fuss, no excesses, no self-centred books, no scandals, no Hello! interviews, no fashion tips, no excruciating TV ‘specials’, no public squabbling over wages, no drugs scandals, no nightclub fights, no court appearances – and absolutely no doubting his professionalism”. That is the way Des Kelly, the Daily Mail Sports writer, describes Paul Scholes, perhaps, the most talented English footballer of his generation and outstanding playmaker who is noted for his crucial and spectacular goals.

ON 21 October, Scholes made the 500th appearance for one of the world’s richest and most famous football clubs, Manchester United. He opened the scoring in a match that United won by two goals. It was against one of their greatest rivals, Liverpool. On his landmark appearance and excellent skills, United’s Manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, said, “To make your 500th appearance against our biggest rivals and score was fantastic, not just for Paul but for all of us here. As a club, I think we can take special pride in Paul. He has never changed since he came here as a boy. He has always kept his feet on the ground and is a great credit to himself, his family and Manchester United.”

DESPITE this unique appearance and performance, the shy and modest Scholes said, “It didn’t feel any different. It was just a game – and one we had to win.” This is a testament to devotion, to duty, unalloyed loyalty to club and an insatiable appetite to win glory for the collective.

SCHOLES made his debut for United in 1994 against Ipswich, a match in which he scored twice. Before then, he had been a trainee between July 1991 and July 1993 when he turned professional. He won an FA Youth Cup winners’ medal in 1992 and a runners-up medal in the same competition a year later. Scholes was also a member of the England Under-18 team which won the European Championships in 1993. He picked up his first major honour at United, when the team won the Premiership and FA Cup against Liverpool to complete a historic “Double”.

SCHOLES scored in his international debut for England against Italy as well as during his first international at Wembley Stadium. Some soccer analysts have described him as one of the “best football brains” ever at United and in England, in comparison with such greats as Bryan Robson and Bobby Charlton, “for his ability to make late runs from deep positions (and) in addition, with quick feet he can work openings from the tightest of situations”. With six goals in the 2000-2001 season, Scholes overtook Denis Law’s European scoring record.

IN a decade at United, Scholes has won six Premiership titles, three F.A. Cups, the European Cup and Inter-Continental Cup among many other personal accolades. Unlike most modern footballers, Scholes does not have an agent and so negotiates his deals himself. He avoids media interviews and rarely accepts advertising contracts. Though he is arguably the most competent footballer of his generation, Scholes does not indulge in any self-advertising publicity, including biographies.

IN 2004, he announced his retirement from international football, focusing his energies on winning glories for his club. Last season, many feared his career was over when he sustained an eye injury due to a blow to his head during a match. He suffered blurred vision and was sent to a few eye specialists. Eventually, his vision was fully restored and he came back into his usual dazzling performance.

SCHOLES has been praised as an exemplary footballer and gentleman whose greatest concern is his game and the game; and one who possesses a rare talent, yet is not obstructive or conceited about it. While other footballers glory in scandals, sex, wine and drugs, Scholes has kept himself away from the reigning vices. When his club visited the United States, a few years ago, most people in New York did not recognize the stars as they went through the streets. While most of the players were scandalized, Scholes was deeply satisfied. He had never sought to be known, he only wanted to play.

THERE is a particular lesson in the Scholes story that Nigerian football administrators should learn from and that is keeping accurate records of events and players. Till today, there are no accurate data on the number of goals players like Segun Odegbami, Christian Chukwu, Samson Siasia, Muda Lawal and even Rashidi Yekini scored in their careers. How many goals have Julius Aghahowa and Obafemi Martins scored to date? These are pieces of information that should interest football administrators in Nigeria. They should begin to celebrate these “little things” and appreciate the nation’s football heroes. They should begin to erect signposts of history so that the nation would not be barren of ideas in the future.

ALSO, younger generations of footballers the world over have lessons to learn from this talented, efficient, effective and excellent footballer. Many a talent has been lost to truancy and complacency. The media would call them “enfants terrible” and they would eventually end in self-annihilation.

Who can still remember the stories of Nigerian soccer prodigies like Tarila Okorowanta, Clement Temile and Etim Esin?
