Strange Coincidences?

One of our best known fans at Stourbridge FC
is an old guy called Eric, a wonderful character with a penchant for using extremely industrial language.

Eric has one leg.

A couple of years ago prior to an away game I got chatting to him and he was telling me how he lost his leg, he fell over up by Top Church in Dudley as a three year old and his leg was crushed by a bus.

So he’s spent 70 odd years with a wooden leg.

In an unbelievable set of circumstances he follows both his father and his father’s father in losing a leg, all three of them lost the same leg in totally random accidents👀😳

He reckoned it was quite a sight to see all three of them together at a family function, strangers thought they were taking the p I s s as they hobbled in together 🤣

At another away match Eric was struggling to get across a very uneven car park and cussing with every step......me and my mate got to the turnstiles just ahead of him and his friend.

I handed over my money to the turnstile operator and it took forever for the change to be returned to me.

At that point I noticed the guy in the turnstile only had one arm.

I turned back to Eric and shouted,

“ Fu ck me Eric, there’s just enough parts between the pair of you to make one decent functioning human being “ ........😆

“ Cheeky young f u c k e r “ he replied 🤣

Anyway, what a coincidence.....three identical amputees down the male side of a family, unique in my experience.

Any other strange one’s you know of?

Not on that level, but my wife has 2 sisters, and all 3 of us husbands have the same name !!

Fancy all being called Baggie Singh 🤣


I remember being caught out by someone years ago when he asked me if I’d heard that the golfer Vijay Singh was going to marry Nick Faldo’s caddy Fanny Sunnesson.

“That’ll make her Fanny Singh” he said!

🤣🤣🤣
