Smith Lying Low Again

Frantic attempts by the media to obtain comment from former Rovers player Charlie Smith have been fruitless as Smith has gone to ground. "Charlie hasn't been heard from since the match" said Liz Pollock (pictured), the president of the Rovers supporters club and Spurs fanatic "we're not even sure if he is still coming to New Zealand to face the music". Smith as been known to "go bush" after a Pompey defeat but sources who did not wish to be named said he was unlikely to miss the opportunity to impose his personality on Wellington in a couple of weeks. "My Charlie is coming ready or not" said the anonymous source "he is just out celebrating the semi-final and final of the FA Cup as he knows who is going to win it". Wellington establishments have been warned of the impending arrival of Smith and extra Police will be on duty during Smith's stay.
