Seem to recall he was one of the big earners when Leeds were f**ked for money. 13 years as a premier league player into the 2000s and you'd be fine for cash provided you stashed some away. I am sure Ridsdale gave him a stupid contract. Probably on 40k on his last contract.

That's gas he was a very decent player. Id say he made enough to just about srvive wothout needing to work again. Prob just a decent bloke with no nterest in the limelight. Absolute classic Blacburn jerseys

Reminds me of when they signed Seth Johnson and apparently so the story goes. Johnson agreed with his agent beforehand that his opening request for his wages would be 10k a week believing Ridsdale's first offer would be lower than that. Ridsdale starts the meeting and tells the agent they'll offer him 30k a week and not a penny more

True story about Seth, apparently the agent somehow managed to keep his composure and a straight face, telling Ridsdale they would need time to consider options rather than biting the hand off him on the instant.

Batty holidayed in a caravan in the UK every summer. Funnily I remember him at Blackburn but not Newcastle

Newcastle is the club who I'd associate Batty with the most.
He was seriously undervalued what he brought to the team, injected some serious nastiness in the midfield

He once severed the tip of his finger and kept it. Then brought it to school a few years later for a "show and tell" day

Of that title winning Blackburn team, Richard Witschge. I only noticed during lockdown when I ended up watching extended highlights of West Ham v Blackburn from April 1995, and his name was checked. It was the only time he played for Blackburn, and he apparently left with a few choice words about the town.
I always associate him with coming on as a sub for the Netherlands for some reason, but rather than forgetting, I never actually knew he spent time with Blackburn.

"Blackburn is so poor and ugly. I couldn’t bear to live there one more day – the people looked so poor. I wanted to play in England but you can’t do that to your family. The only place to play in England is London.”

It's the most truest statement ever even to this day Bloke must of went out during pre-season and thought even after 10 Vodkas I still wouldn't.
