Who is Leonard P?

Vinny’s Burnley just scored and the striker pulled up his shirt in the celebration to reveal “Leonard P” and a heart on his thermal.

Had a look on the Burnley forum, no mention

See, the thing is, this playing the ball out from the back thing is just ridiculous, if it's applied rigidly like a dogma. Firstly, you've got to have the players who are able to do it. Not easy. We've got them. Not every defence is as comfortable on the ball as ours is (virtually none are, in point of fact). Secondly, there are times to do it, and times most definitely not to do it. The guy with the ball has to size up the configuration of his own players and the configuration of the opposition players in a flash to determine whether it's on or not. If it's not, he's going to look like a clown.

And they have got VAR for this game.

Our lads at the Blades playing today, I see. Assist from young Doyle, too. Nice.

Incidentally, nice to see the respect for the old guard from Tommy in his contribution to the Ballet on Ice piece on City +.
