		Lalas, pretty much the same size then as he is now, ignored the ball and dipped his not insubstantial shoulder into my less substantial chest.
		But Lalas is right (one paper's headline was "Yanks 2 Planks 0"), he probably should have been fired for fielding a team that had Carlton Palmer in the heart of its defence.
		It was a no-brainer for the MLS to get their most (perhaps only) recognisable face on board early but his first few years back in the States did not bring a great deal of success for the man himself.

		Other than "additional guitar" parts done by Martin Crotty on three songs, Lalas is responsible for all guitar, vocal and, apparently, bass work on "Ginger," in addition to having written all the songs and lyrics.
		Alexi's guitar work is suitably up front, without ever overwhelming the supporting instruments.
