WHEN you are a professional footballer who has played for 16 clubs and are almost 41 years of age you should know the right things to say to the papers.

And so when Wigan goalkeeper Mike Pollitt, a sprightly 40 years and 11 months, was offered the chance to comment on his side Wigan Athletic’s home 1-1 FA Cup third round draw with League I outfit Bournemouth the Premier League custodian gratefully took the prompt and said: “Well, we have another bite at the Cherries”.

Definitely worth drawing the game for that one, Mike!
