Congratulations!
In other Teemu news it’s been widely mentioned on t’Internet that “Pukki” is Malaysian street slang for – oh my gawd – a Stefan Kuntz.
Poor $od – surely it’s bad enough being translatable into “Goat”, let alone a James Blunt.
Still, the dressing room will doubtless have a laugh about it at his expense.
Well done Teemu.
Well deserved! Hopefully the PL doesn’t overlook NCFC players and management like the EFL did.
Don’t we just love him! Reckon the M O D interview went down well with fans in general, the free transfer and the guy’s humility help to in the footy world of over priced cocky individuals.
I was going to say he is the gift that keeps giving but having read Martin’s comment I wont!!
Well deserved Teemu.
Hope he and his team mates can win many more.
