Must not have been play offs, their bloke fouled Branagan (or maybe another keeper) but he had the ball. Mr Keeper pushed the attacker and ref (think it was Lynch) gave the pen. This is a clear memory in my mind, am now doubting if it was even West Brom. I remember something along those lines, West Brom, little striker with a long name beginning with P and Branagan pushed him away and the ref gave a pen. Not sure it was the playoffs though.

They all pilled back to a hotel room and he accused my pal of taking pictures of him to sell to paper or whatever. His heavies lobbed him out and never paid him.

I booked him a room at the Reebok after our dinner. I then got a better deal, paid for the room in cash and cancelled his original room. Couple of weeks later, I saw a charge to my card for £250 that I found out was for drinks for mr ruddock 🙄 I got it back off his agent Guy was a prick £2500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any how I thought he was decent, he thought he was a comedian rather than ex footballer though who told funny stories about his football days which would be my preference.

Site Supporter Spider Posted March 21 Site Supporter Share Posted March 21 Best I've seen was Dean Saunders. And a referee called Keith something or other. Both a surprise but very entertaining. Worst by a mile was Rory Underwood. I know he's an eggchaser but you'd have hoped he'd have stories about drinking pints of piss and fisting prop forwards, but he just bored the entire room shitless.

Blondi Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Went to a John Barnes one a couple of years ago, that was ok. My mate went to a Vinny Jones and Paul Gascoigne joint one and he said it was absolutely shite, he said Vinny was ok but you couldn't understand one word Gazza was saying, no surprise I guess.

I went to "an evening with" event, where he sat on stage and told a load of made up stories that didn't happen. In fact most of the hour he spent on stage was spent slagging Harry Redknapp off, and telling us how he was on £20K per week at Liverpool - at the end, he came into the bar, but had his heavies around him. You could go and have a minute with him and a photo if you paid £10 for the pleasure. One bloke asked him to sign a Liverpool shirt, which he did....charged him another £10 for that 😁 I went to a similar event with Paul Merson, and surprisingly, he was excellent, and more than happy to spend time chatting and having photos, and signing memorabilia afterwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in Lanzarote- remember sky had a 'planet football' weekend or summat, so we were lucky to be on. that week we signed Jamie Pollock, made his debut the following Saturday where we lost 1-0 at home to Ipswich I think?
