His England hopes may have been put on temporary hold due to an ankle injury picked up at Blackpool but David Stockdale has certainly made his mark in the Premier League this season.
Today, in one of those pull-out bits dedicated to the weekend football that the tabloids print, there`s a lovely little tale about how £25 saw a dramatic change in Stockdale`s career direction.
Whilst at York City David was, apparently, on a mere £175 a week and when he asked for a rise to £200 was shown the door with Stockdale explaining,
“They told me I was money-grabbing. I was on £175 a week and I asked for £200 because I was travelling and wanted expenses.”
“They said I should concentrate more on my football. They lost out.”
I`d love to know who was the skinflint who wouldn`t cough up the extra £25 wouldn`t you!
