Former North End players you have...

Went to MAgaluf a few years ago with a group of lads including Eric Snookes. Of course I didn't realise it was Eric Snookes until the plane journey home doh!
Fuck me he could drink though.

"ha ha"???

I suppose you were only 8, so I'll not blame you for being unaware... but was that perhaps the serious neck injury that brought an end to one of my favourite player's career ? !!

i didnt realise that ended his career?! less funny now...
 
I met Julian Darby in a pub in Corfu. Had a really good chat about billy Davies and the whole laptop saga. It was just around when Trevor took us over and I was wildly optimistic.

Oh and I pissed him off by getting the owner to go and ask him if he really was the ball boy that day when worthington scored his famous burnden park goal!

When I was a young reporter in the mid 80s I had a weekly meet up with the then manager of Longridge Sports Centre . . . Sir Alex Bruce. Highlight of every week and a Top man. 🙂 ps. His deputy was . . . the Deepdale Duck - true 😉
 
Andy McLarren who played with Sir Tom in late 40s early 50s was our window cleaner when i lived in Fulwood 1980s. Met Tommy Thompson in ASDA about 4 months ago and had a really good chat with him,he still visits Sir Tom aswell .

Was working as an IT Consultant to a firm in Sale when I was introduced to the new Operations Directors who turned out to be Adrian Hughes.

Worked with him for a couple of years and became good mates with him. He was invited to be one of the "legends" that came on at half time during the Millwall match when we got the Div 2 title in 2000 and he invited me along. Was in the boardroom before the match and got my paws on the trophy before it was presented.

Some of the stories he used to tell me about Big Sam...;-)

Met Grezza down the dump ..had a nice chat! ..oh ..and I've sold many of Andy Lonergan's unwanted sponsorship items on ebay! ..I also met Tina Turner whilst working at the tennis championships at Wimbledon ...just name dropping here as she has never played for the nobbers.
 
Remembered another Simon Farnworth in a bar in Manc. I was actually talking to his wife (not like that!) and she asked where I was from, said Preston and she said "oh my hubby used to play for them, Simon Farnworth."

So then of course I said "ah, no gloves on I see." You could tell he heard that probably 400 times a day. Nice bloke though, think he's physio somewhere now (Morecambe?).
