Return of the Todd

The Setanta cameras were in today to film Chris Todds comeback. Also present were the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and CNN as well as representatives from Mens Health, Vogue, Horse and Hounds, Homes and Gardens and The Beano.
Well ok, maybe I have over egged the pudding a bit but you get the message. A rapid fire return for Toddy, it seems remarkable that in such a short time he has made such massive progress. This could be down to several reasons.
Our crack Physio Damien Davey, not his treatment but his high quality banter- they say laughter is the best medicine . The air quality on the coast- years ago if you were ill it was off to the seaside for a stick of rock and some deep breathing. Or could it be a one-a-day tablet and a big portion of will power. Lets call it a combination of all four.
Training was also filmed with a few of the lads finding some 'bobbles' and 'shin' touches.
One man was certainly up for it today, Martin ' Get on Mart' Rice was throwing himself everywhere, pulling off some Banks like saves. Well done Mart but I think trying to get a copy for all the family is milking it a bit !!!!. He was that pleased he nipped over to Tesco and bought a couple of steaks for tea to celebrate....beware Becky, beware!.
After training, head tennis and weights ( yes weights, yes core, yes European beach ban may be imposed !) I headed for the showers where again I enjoyed/ suffered an ice cold shower. This is not for fitness reason. Tyrone, Muzzi, Nicky Wroe, Robbo and Danny Stevens are under suspicion of using up all the hot water by cleaning their boots in the showers!.
Added to that Mark Ellis literally washes his skin away he spends that long in there. The same can't be said for Elliot who only showers for 12 seconds. He is like a cat, dislikes water but likes licking himself !.
Referring back to head tennis and after another heavy defeat and some serious in-fighting Lee Mansell and Michael Brough are looking for a new member, and their requirements? Must have a positive mentality. Must like fun. Must like chocolate. Must not wear woolly jumpers and Timberlands at 8.am.
I think they are being extremely harsh Kev, you will soon be back in the circle of trust !!!!!.
