Lee Hendrie

[Seaford Seagull]

Funny how things work out:

Former Aston Villa and England midfielder Lee Hendrie, 33, is currently plying his trade at Indonesian side Bandung. His new team are bottom of their division after just one win in their first nine games of the season.

I think it was Kalimantan Gull who posted on here a couple of weeks ago that he went to see him play and although Bandung lost, Hendrie played pretty well. Have to say there are worse places to ply your trade and he is probably being very well rewarded.

You think he is earning more with them than we would have offered him?

No but he gets an unlimited supply of young ladyboys!

No way would we pay him £6.5k per week which he is on over there, plus Im sure their tax laws are not as much and of course the cost of living is much lower.

I think our current position, new ground, financial security and bright future is a massive To all those who have turned down playing for us over the recent years and thought the grass is greener elsewhere.

How can they afford that??

Lot of money in Indonesia, this place is booming and I'm in the process of moving all my savings and investments out here. My bank account gets 60 times the interest rate it does in England, for one thing.

He's the first ex-premier league player to play in the Indonesian leagues though, so he is quite a celebrity and this is the first season of a new breakaway premier league and they are keen to spend money on ambassadors like Lee. At the game the whole crowd shouted 'Leeeee' whenever he came near

Apparently Mansfield offered Hendrie a contract last year, but Bandung offered him more. Bandung are proper shite, the game I saw them lose 5-0 Hendrie spent the whole time having a go at his team-mates before the Ref calmed him down.
