I interviewed Steve Howard at Derby's training ground yesterday, and I have to say that he is a very canny bloke indeed. In fact none of the Derby players I met came across as rarfy.

Read all about it in the next Monkey Business, out at the end of March.

i read a piece yesterday in the Daily Star about howard how he was brought up to hate sunderland, praise is deserved for the blokes parents . strange thing is he said he was released by sunderland weird world
