People are talking about Matt Johns sticking up for low lifes like Bird. I take Johns with a grain of salt. Anyone recall an image of his slightly framed wife carrying 4 large bags on her back, looking after the kids, and getting them out of the car, while Matt Johns is leisurely chatting on his mobile to his buddies?
Don't presume these guys on the footy show are retired scientists or actuaries lads. They are X football players LUCKY enough to snare a tv gig by putting a pillow up their shirt, sticking a fake moustache on, wearing thongs and doing a 70's sing a long bash as entertainment.
You are who you hang with.
