Former Bristol City keeper and well known cry baby, Steve Phillips, has today been offered to other clubs for free, with Bristol Rovers' manager, Paul Trollope declaring, "We'll be lucky to get that for him, to be honest. We may end up having to chuck a bag of match balls in."Phillips, who was famously dropped and then released by Gary Johnson, after the goalkeeper decided he didn't like the idea of conducting himself in a professional manner or competing for his place in the team at Ashton Gate, is hoping to attract interest from Weston-Super-Mare or Yate Town, but hasn't ruled out an emotional return to his hometown club, Paulton Rovers.
Speaking about the potential move, Phillips said, "Going back to Paulton would be a dream move for me. It's a great club that's really going places, so I just hope they've forgotten I'm a bit of an arse by now. Mind you, it was a while ago, so I doubt there's many of the same people there. Yeah, it'll probably be fine."
Phillips, who's attracted transfer fees of absolutely nothing over his twelve year career, was due a testimonial whilst at Bristol City, but decided that acting the tool was a better way to crown ten years at the Ashton Gate club. As a result, many testimonial events ended up being cancelled. But thankfully, nobody was going anyway because he's not a particularly likeable bloke, so no harm was done.
Despite that, the Bristolian 'keeper will probably be best remembered at Ashton Gate for saving a penalty against Bristol Rovers, which effectively relegated the North Bristol club.... I'm kidding, of course. Everyone will remember him as a dummy-throwing baby who couldn't be arsed to work for the right to wear the shirt.
