    Strangely enough, I think about 8 or 9 of Aldo's goals came against Latvia.

    Yeah, we played them four years in a row in the early 90s, winning all games. Aldo got a hat-trick in '92, one in '93, two in '94 and another two in '95.

    An interesting fact also: In last nights game. Will Hoskins scored for Watford and Leon Best scored for Coventry. They both went to the same school at the same time; I can't imagine that has happened too often!
    Did Will Hoskins have a spell at Forest?. I know he was up at Rotherham and was prolific for them. I often meant to ask about his shirt been on the wall of the Holy Trinity. Did Best go to school there James if you went there?

    Best a concern for play-offs

    Coventry City striker Leon Best has emerged as an injury worry for the Republic of Ireland’s World Cup play-offs against France. Best limped out of last nights defeat at Cardiff with a knee injury and left the stadium on crutches.

    His club are waiting to discover the full extent of the injury with a scan scheduled for tomorrow but manager Chris Coleman admitted the initial prognosis was not encouraging.

    “We are not sure how long he is going to be out for,” said Coleman. “His knee has swollen up badly and we won’t be banking on him returning soon. He’s a tough kid but it doesn’t look too good. It’s a real worry.”

    Best has yet to break his international duck but has won five caps under Giovanni Trapattoni, the most recent coming in the final qualifier against Montenegro.

    Ireland face France on November 14th at Croke Park, with the return leg taking place at the Stade de France four days later. A place at next year's World Cup finals in South Africa awaits the winners.

    This is bad news. He's impressed every time I've seen him.

    Gutted for Leon, really hope he makes it back in time - second leg, maybe? Gives us a useful option to change things around. Here's hoping.

    Hope he recovers soon.

    Himself and Folan are real options for Ireland to put themselves about and get under the skin of defender's.

    Keane and Doyle are good players, but sometimes it's really important to win headers and flick on's up front and Folan and Best are very good at that. They give us a different option if Keane and Doyle are not getting anywhere on the ground against good defenders.

    According to predictions, Folan will not be available for the play offs either

    Very good!

    Actually, given that Trap is on the record (I think) as saying he revised his plan B of playing A. Reid behind a lone striker because of the different option offered by Folan or Best, if neither of these is available...

    It might happen. Hunt & Long have done nothing this season.

    A goal needed, one minute to go, the ball falls to Andy Keogh. I wouldn't necessarily hold my breath!
