I'll assume you're not confusing them with the Gazza of recent years.

Mmmmm. The Sofa & Fridge I thought Shreeves was referring to both have
those little trolley-type wheels. With the use of the UKSF extension
cord, I can't see Fridge having any difficulty in covering the entire
pitch when necessary. He always manages to maintain his cool despite
his fantastic workrate.

Sofa complements him nicely in that he won't ever be caught out of
position. He isn't the sort of player to go chasing the play, and his
innate ability to draw others in to his sphere of influence has a very
calming effect on the pace of the game.

You are absolutely correct about their lack of ability in the air, but
being such robust chaps they tend to put the opposition off mostly.
Both can put on a fair turn of pace if required....don't be fooled by
their size.

Perhaps Mr Shreeves would care to be more specific about which Sofa &
Fridge he was intending to use....there are just so many.
