Nathan Jones invented the spork.

I bought a spork today.

When I went to pick up my Click & Collect order from Debenhams I was given a £5 voucher which needed to be used by Xmas Eve, so it was a case of use it immediately or lose it (as there's no way I was returning to town) and so the voucher (plus £3) was exchanged for a spork.

You mean when he played for us. Shows ambition. I like that. Ambitious players/managers are winners.

The big man has gone, lets feel the love for the little man who is going to lead us charging up the table to play off glory. Here's your first ten. 100 may be optimistic.

1) He has been gone too long - that's a phrase you will hear a lot by people who think they are funny. I used it this morning with my girlfriend, she looked at me blankly. It refers to the hit single by The Supremes, released in the Spring of 1971, a song about a woman and her former love Nathan Jones, with the lyrics "Nathan Jones, you've been gone too long."

2) He is rumoured to have slept with Soccer AM's Helen Chamberlain whilst playing for Torquay, however he never played for Torquay. He did play for Yeovil though and that's close enough.

3) Micky Adams thought he was "bigger than that". A reference to when Micky Adams confronted Nathan Jones during a post match interview after Jones play acted and got Joe Ansinyah sent off in a 1-1 draw away to Yeovil in September 2008. Many fans decided he was a **** at that point and have stuck to that view ever since, however now the big man is leading our pack he is clearly the messiah and not a ****.

4) Nathan Jones is only 5ft 7 in, a full inch shorter than Micky Adams, but still one foot taller than Tony Bloom.

5) He was born in Rhonda, Wales, on 28th May 1973. He is 41.

6) He speaks fluent Spanish, having played for Numancia and CD Badajoz 1996-1997.

7) His other clubs include Merthyr Tydfil, Luton Town, Scarborough, Southend, Yeovil and five year years with the Seagulls (2000-2005).

8) He played as a left back who liked to get forward. A bit of a Joe Bennett. He had one trick, a kind of shuffle that is difficult to describe. It looked a bit gay, truth be told, but he beat many a player with it, and it always got a cheer at The Withdean.

9) He is a highly intelligent man and has more coaching badges than you can wave a stick at.

10) He is registered blind. The glasses he wears are two inches thick. He has to stand in the technical area the whole time or else he would get lost. Seriously he is very short sighted, prescription of about 8.

Haha, just brilliant! Unfortunately, as it seems you are an accountant, you will get no more sicophantic platitudes from me as all accountants are scumbags.

Fortunately his dream came true and he got a move to, err Yeovil.

35. Despite being Welsh, NJ has never been on the little stream train up Snowdon

It's an understandable point of view. But I am not your normal accountant.

39. Nathan Jones has part-ownership of an exotic pet shop in Sidcup. That is to say it's a pet shop which sells exotic pets - the building itself could be described as being quite mundane.
