Lots of articles report this story, though none seem to report what he
said or where or when. This vagueness makes me wonder if there may be
a
bit of urban myth effect going on. If you can provide a link (or any
source) to what he said rather than vague "ha-ha caught him out" style
stories I'd be obliged and interested. :-)

In any case: the winner of the last major trophy, whom was an idol for
the
older fans and remembered fondly would be a teenage idol for some
fans. Especially for a team sauntering vaguely downwards.

Cheers,

Yes, sorry, I only noticed the cross post a couple of posts ago.

Could be an urban myth, but it's mentioned in Hansard (along with a
number of other fibs):-

which, unless anyone can point to the contrary, will do for me.
