"Harry you've done a bit of wheeling and dealing in your time..." "I'm no wheeler dealer - *fack off*"

[@jimmyfly4383]

he seems much more distraught over missing out on signing ian woan than hazard

[@vacuumboots69]

jimmy fly woany was better than hazard

[@navnig]

Woan was a great player! He had an anvil for a left foot!

[@thislife3655]

There was a bit extra in it for him 💷.

[@davefranks2453]

Harry always says that after the Hazard anecdote ahaha

[@chrisninety1]

Ian Woan is not a name I've heard in a while - good player, I remember him scoring the goal for Forest that won the title for Arsenal.

[@MrMiD.Life.Crisis]

I love Harrys stories!! Also Ian Woan was a good player for Forest and loyal to the club but i never thought he fulfilled his potential. Some days he looked like he was a genius and others like he couldnt be bothered.

[@criostoirocuinn]

Used to love Woan's goals mid 90's

[@barneysgamertag6956]

'drived up' - in a fucking oxford union address

[@genericaccount2056]

BarneysGamertag arry doesn't give a fuck

[@pearcegreatesteverleftback03]

Woan did well for us too, Great left four he had 😎😁

[@daveadams8828]

Another great anicdote from arry the jowly ball bag

[@johnholland6180]

😂 If an elbow had ballsack it would look like 'Arry

[@MichaelCook84]

Ian woan what a legend!!

[@lac7448]

Love ol arry

[@mytayube]

Yes Ian woan silky winger

[@onlyweatherlol93]

He's absolutely cracking Harry.

[@stanthemafia]

Arry!

[@saelaird]

It's actually "Nottingham Forest" Harry. Whereas "Notts" is Notts County. We're very picky about that... silly I know.

[@CIMAmotor]

Brian Clough was very picky about it as I remember.

[@calam8286]

saelaird No one gives a fuck.

[@lifegoals9528]

It is Notts Forest, a big club under Clough. That's their nickname.

[@Deadeye1967]

Gregory's Girl - No it isn't, Notts stands for Nottinghamshire the county of, as in Nottinghamshire County. Nottingham is a city, big difference.

[@solopipe209]

@@Deadeye1967 Nobody cares, get over it

[@benrichards399]

"notts forest!" hahaha

[@lifegoals9528]

Ben Richards That's what I call them as well, it's just their nickname.

[@benrichards399]

Gregory's Goals a nick name that every football fan knows they hate.

[@lifegoals9528]

Ben Richards When I say it I mean it as a term of endearment. Forest are the only team other than lovely Villa in the EFL worth a damn. Two big clubs in a sea of pollution.

[@user-dj4kh3oi2i]

Gregory's Goals shame I don't like either of them then

[@---cf9bj]

@msec Ses so if the european cup was so easy to win back then, why didn't cheating leeds win it? oh yeah because they were and still are shit, a tin pot club with a long history of cheating, don revie biggest con man in football. At the end of the day, both Forest and Villa accomplished something leeds fans could only dream of doing, and the entire lot of you are sour over it.

[@donaldrussell8920]

We need a transfer story channel

[@jarrettthomas4865]

Can't forget Scottie canham

[@flatsurfaces1913]

Now he’s on I’m a celebrity and he’s skinnier as hell

[@Stevieboy74]

Wellllll ya know twiffick player Niko Kranjcar

[@Ohfishyfishyfish]

Bit disappointed he didn't do the voice for Clough.

[@davidtunnicliff5442]

hahar....i even phoned harry when they were 3rd division . asked if he wanted me to come play for bournemouth.....he thought it was a joke and told me to call him in another years time.

[@gollick]

Who are Notts Forest?

[@choppsyboy6284]

got a love old big 'ead Clough

[@vacuumboots69]

Ian Woan was a great player. Nffc fan 👍

[@markdeakin4773]

Vacuum Boots he was a very classy player you could see it the moment we signed him from Heswall ( runcorn fan)

[@jayjlopez2144]

Class manager but a classier man ! Legend

[@OldManFifa]

thought Shevchenko to west ham would of had a mention

[@michaelfarrow5817]

And Marcelo Salas. The story was that he'd just bought Hartson and Kitson.

[@lifegoals9528]

Michael Farrow Kitson and Hartson both did well for the club though and kept them up.

[@djelalniyazi4090]

yeah he nearly had him for w h

[@mkprocter882]

would be gutting, Ian Woan was quality

[@elmexingles]

One of the Wirral’s finest. Ian Woan.

[@markdeakin4773]

He had to cross the river to show it though lol, im a runcorn fan and probably our best ever signing

[@TheJohnCooper]

So the answer is just hazard and courtois

[@LauritZenc]

Harry's stories are 80% untrue but very entertaining.

[@nrealms9519]

Newspaper's 99% bullshit, but it's entertaining 🤣

[@Anthony-Testicali]

Such a wheeler dealer harry

[@circle2867]

woooanfelix

[@ianbennett1491]

Should have tried to get Ian on WOAN first.😂😂😂

[@thislife3655]

Should have kept that to yourself 👎🏻.

[@kpjlflsknflksnflknsa]

Wheeler dealer

[@TubbyBrewster11]

Read me, delete me lickety-split he isn’t a wheeler dealer, fack off

[@bokehintheussr5033]

He failed to get Crouchy and a Kranjcar at Birmingham.

[@walkermorgan1710]

Arrryyyyyyyyy

[@MrBark1969]

Arry

[@Lfc15Lad]

They nearly signed Saurez apparently when he was Spurs that is

[@camdelahuerta700]

I mean that Woan story was a bit meh.

[@bazzam9217]

Absolute bull shitter ! Pay your tax Harry !!!!!

[@bazzam9217]

Trevor L 😂 intelligent comment Trevor 😂🙄

[@Sportsperformanceanalysis]

Absolute bollocks story as Woan got injured a day before he was signing for Forest but still signed for them

[@Sportsperformanceanalysis]

@bucky1968 Yeah and i saw him on the physio table after being stretched off laughing and joking when they told him it wasnt that serious and he could still sign for Forest.

[@stephenroche5107]

Tax avoider.

[@charlessouthgate606]

So what?
