Fess up - who coined the phrase ? Did it originate here or the Bounce?

It was coined before the bounce started.

Was it not a localisation of the 'Paul Lambert Role' phrase

Did the phrase originate before, during or after the 30 December, 2000?

Don't think it was anything to do with that Dundee United game. As I remember, it started to be used after he'd left in discussions about needing someone with similar attributes.

I doubt that anybody could answer that question with any degree of confidence.

So I’m claiming it, I coined the phrase. I was the first to call Dirk Lehmann Porn Star as well . I’m still raging at the Fulham fans claiming it was them. :greengrin

Russell Latapy’s protector IIRC

Anyone crunching the Little Magician could expect retribution

The legend was born that day.

That was hilarious watching the Dundee Utd players, especially Alan Combe, go ballistic.

Not sure which bit I preferred. Keeping the ball or the dive for the penalty

My favourite memory of MJ

He played centre half when he first arrived and wasn’t all that great. Minute he moved into CM he was different class.
Similar to Triantis.

Is Matty himself aware of the phrase ?! I know many folk have been to his bar but I’m not aware if anyone’s ever asked him

He is. He's mentioned it on his FB a few times. Accepts most Hibs fans as friends and will happily interact and chat on there. Top guy.

Thought this was going to be a new film, like Rise of the Footsoldier, Origins
