Previous ones - PoolsBill, and another similar one, lost in the mists of time.
Age 72 Place of birth West Hartlepool (hence Pools.....) Parents from Gosforth and Whickham Family pretty much all from Tyneside or Northumberland.
Only seen the team play twice, live. Once at St James's years ago - when I think we put 5 past Norwich. Secondly against Blackburn at Ewood Park, when I remember Obafemi Martins looking fast, incisive, and yet totally ineffective, unfortunately. This also introduced my wife to something she'd never seen before. I might call it "tribal football". She'd never seen "hordes" of "uniformed" people marching down a road together, with the avowed intent of destroying the opposition. In the nicest, friendliest possible way, of course! And sharing a pint with them on the way!!
Likes. Well, before heart problems, then running, cycling, mountains (walking, scrambling, running)
Now: Vegetable growing, cooking and our lovely three German Shepherds.
Why OwdBill?
Dunno - maybe it's because I'm nearly ower as well as aad. Or just ower aad.
