Darius Vassell about to sign for some Turkish team, look at the reception he got....

Simply bizarre stuff, he's a superstar in their eyes.

saw that on the news, £#%&!ing mental that.

greeted at the airport like a superstar.

£#%&! me, they've obviously never seen him play.

Crazy @#%&!s will be doing slit-throat gestures to him by Christmas.

Good to see the family out in force.

"put your hands in the air" did koppas suggest that?

FFS do they know who he is?

"hands in the air Vassell is here"

I showed them a few clips on youtube from his Villa days. I didn't tell them that was 12 years ago or they would have got the knives out.

Another one who we allowed to slip through the net

Could have been the new Denis law.

Ferie out!

half of them on there look like they might be `assets` from the Bourne trillogy.

World class player, Fergie should have been in for him imo.

Wesley Snipes.

when at aston villa vassell missed several games after he drilled through his toe nail with a home power drill thinking it would relieve the pressure on a swollen toe. The attempt at diy surgery succeeded only in giving the toe an infection which required medical attention

DIY fail!

"You a more than a player"

Do you reackon there's a 200 page "VASSELL £0m: Some Agent Hinting" thread on their forum?

Those pics must remind you of the reaction you receive when walking into one of those 'Elite' parties.

Never heard of the team either - are they the WBA or Bolton of the Turkish league? No wonder they're giddy.
