My uncle introduced me to Gazza in a working men’s club in Gateshead when he played for Spurs! First couple of hours were absolutely mint then alcohol took over and The rest of the night was a blur. Top bloke though funny as hell.
Phil Thompson in a shop in Lloret de mar when I was 14 and he was a top Liverpool player, I asked for his autograph and he told me to get lost cos he was on holiday P R I C K.
Have spoken to most of the Reds players over the years at some point I really liked Jim Dobbin though he was down to earth and a proper Gent.
Had an argument in a club in Sheffield though with the whole team! We had just been beaten at home by Blackpool and they were in this club having the time of their lives laughing and joking.....A mate of mine told them I was a reds fan and Rory Fallon came over and I told him to do one! He called me a tosser and a few heated words ensued, Mitch Ward got involved and I said something like “please go away you S H I T midget or you will miss the next game through Injury!
It got a bit out of hand after I addressed them all as the worst team to ever step out at Oakwell and they should be at home Contemplating why not one of them had not shown any effort at all and had let down every reds supporter there tonight.
I was politely asked to leave the club, which I did with a few loud expletives Aimed in their direction.
Mitch Ward what a complete K N O B.
