The DA

This is for anyone who ever owned a Merlin Premier League sticker and treasured the moment you completed the Norwich City page or finally got that illusive Swindon Town shiny. Yes, it’s great to watch Fernando Torres, Wayne Rooney and Andrei Arshavin being genuinely talented with skill and flair, but let’s not forget those who lit up the Premiership with different talents throughout the years. The ability to squeeze into tight shorts, defy hairdressing logic and play in kits more repulsive than the thought of an orgy between Noel Edmunds and the Cheeky Girls (apologies to those who just instinctively vomited).

So The DA introduces the ‘Don’t I know you hall of fame’. Let’s all get nostalgic. Send your potential candidates to editor@theda.co.uk and we’ll place them on the list accordingly. Leave your memories and videos of the greats in the comment section below and don’t forget to enter the competition for your chance to win a classic collection of retro football magazines (see below)

But for now, let’s introduce the first entrant into the don’t I know you? hall of fame:

STEVE OGRIZOVIC

FACTFILE

Before Steve enters the hall of fame with DA open arms here are some highlights from the illustrious career that may or may not (may) be completely made up:

- Steve was set to star alongside Meg Ryan in the hit film Sleepless in Seattle but unfortunately filming dates clashed with a crucial league cup second round tie away at Barnet.
- He owns 9 cats and keeps 3 of them alive and well
- Steve claims to have shared a urinal with Elvis Presley at junction 6 of the M1 (he said it was average)
- Orgizovic’s retirement made page 19 of the Coventry Evening Telegraph.
- Steve likes to dress up as Marilyn Monroe and stick household fans between his legs.

Welcome on board Mr Orgizovic, we’re honoured to have you here.
