Glenn Quote by Paul Merson
““Glenn could see I was bricking it and turned round to me as I sat there, gripping the armrests. "You all right?" he said. "I hate flying, Boss. I'm shitting myself." "Don't worry, Merse. It's going to be OK. We *won't* crash." I thought, "Thank God for that. Glenn's said we're going to be safe. Nothing's going to fuck with us now.””
