Perry Groves backs Delap
Ex-Arsenal throw-in-taker Perry Groves has controversially criticised England boss Fabio Capello for not taking Stoke City’s Rory Delap to the World Cup. Delap attended the Royal Groves Academy of Throw-in Takers, and was the first student every to leave the prestigious school with a first class honours. Groves enthused, “Delap was the best pupil I ever had. After England’s piss-poor start to the World Cup, I think it’s obvious to the nation that what the team has been missing is really long throw-ins. I think it’s discrimination against the throw-in-enabled for Capello not to have taken him to South Africa.” Upon being told that Delap plays for Ireland, Groves said ‘Oh.’
