Josh Walker is the milder, flavoured version of Johnny Walker. Just like Breezer is to Bacardi.

Lions tamed by N'Gog
By Russell Staves. Thursday, 21 September 2006.
England v France
Under-18 Friendly International
21 September 2006
Victoria Park, Hartlepool FC
England
0-2
France
N'Gog 8, 74
David N'Gog was the difference as England went down 2-0 to France at Hartlepool on Thursday night.
The Paris St Germain starlet scored a goal in each half - his first was a strike of the highest class - to ensure the French left the North East with a satistactory smile on their face.
But it was not be all doom and gloom for England Head Coach Brian Eastick who would have taken a number of positives out of the game, not least the tenacious performance of his central midfield pair of Josh Walker and Jamie Chandler, while Scott Sinclair and Febian Brandy also caught the eye.
After an even start, France won the first corner in the seventh minute but England cleared through Mills who fed the speeding Brandy. He slid the ball into Sinclair who sneaked behind the defence and forced a save from French keeper Mathieu Dreyer.
But, from the resulting corner, France broke quickly to score the opening goal of the game. Djamel Bakar, hugging the right touchline, sent a long diagonal pass over the England defence to N'Gog who brought the ball down expertly before rifling past the exposed Preston Edwards. Thierry Henry eat your heart out.
France came within inches of doubling their lead in the 13th minute when captain Morgan Schneiderlin powered a header against the bar. Moussa Sissoko then lashed the loose ball goalwards but Chandler cleared off the line before Edwards eventually smoothered a second header from Schneiderlin.
England's best hope of a reply was through Brandy, the talented Manchester United forward. Dropping deep to collect the ball, the teenager's positive running was always a threat and one such burst saw him bundled over in the box, although the referee was not interested.
England put together their best move on 20 minutes. After a series of precise passes with Brandy to the fore, Walker, the England captain, linked with midfield partner Chandler but could not quite latch on to the Sunderland youngster's ball over the top.
The home side created another opening in the 29th minute when Sinclair darted down the line and crossed to the back post. Joseph Mills rose highest and nodded back across goal but Michael Nardiello could not react quick enough to divert the ball on target.
France looked the more composed in possession, but it was England who grew in stature towards the end of the half. After the visitors failed to deal with Ryan Bertrand's cross, his Chelsea team-mate Sinclair drove the ball across goal to Chandler who could only stab wide.
Roy Keane, Chandler's manager at Sunderland, would have been impressed with his charge's late run into the box as he watched from the stands, if not the finish.
England made a superb start to the second half and only the alert Dreyer kept England at bay, diving to his left to save from his defender Leo Schwechlen who deflected Sinclair's cross towards his own goal.
Walker then flashed a volley over the bar as England continued to press forward.
But France were always dangerous and came close to making it 2-0 after 59 minutes when Jeremy Pied, who scored when the two teams met at Under-17 level last year, sent a stinging volley towards the bottom corner.
But John-Paul Kissock, brought on for Mills at half-time, hacked off the line.
Les Blues almost left Walker red-faced seven minutes later. The Middlesbrough midfielder's poor touch let in N'Gog who fed Bakar but the Monaco forward lashed wide.
England went down the other end and forced Dreyer into a smart save, Nardiello cracking a volley with his left foot that the French stopper was equal to.
Edwards, in the England goal, then made an excellent save as play switched from end to end. The inventive Moussa Sissoko somehow found space to flick a wonderful ball over the defence to N'Gog who took a touch to set himself before forcing Edwards into an instinctive block.
Unfortunately there was nothing young Edwards could do to prevent N'Gog netting his second moments later. With the freedom of Victoria Park, N'Gog had time to unleash an exocet with his left boot which took a cruel deflection off James Tomkins and past the despairing Edwards.

Brandy was like lighting when he had the ball at his feet.
Quicker than Lennon by the looks of things.
