That spiderman suit he had on at the Marseilles game must have been made for an 8 year old,he looked like a large speed skater - priceless

Legend. =D>

Legend

Legend.

 

If just for when he went up to that kid next to the bus stop on Halliwell Rd, and asked if he could 'have a bite of your pie', and the kid started crying - one of the funniest things I've ever seen :::::::lol:::::::

That concludes the survey, Darren is in fact a LEGEND

 

I normally bump into him on a Friday night,i'll inform him of the

 

results,not sure if he'll know what the fcuk i'm on about though !

He was once sat at the back of a bus I got on. He was eating a ham shank, which he offered to share with me.

Needless, I declined the kind offer.

On closer inspection, it turned out to be raw!

 

 

 

PS In Farnworth we never called him Spazzy Darren. He was always Mongy Darren to us!

Watching him chase coins about the foot of the terrace was one of the more surreal things I'd witnessed when I first started going Burnden

 

Fookin mithering git he is though, not suprised kids cry when he asks for a bite of their pie

Yoy can't beat a good Darren tale!

 

A couple of years ago he latched onto a lads xmas night out in town (meal and piss up) Instructions from his mam filtered through to us, were that he would be ok,if he didn't eat pasta or drink red wine,cos they make him even more "excitable." 40 of us pile into Tiggi's, and Darren orders Lasagne and a Litre of house red! (he was fcukin flyin all night :D)

 

Also,when he goes out,his mam gives him some money that he puts in a little placcy bag,and he guards it with his life. When he gets in the boozer the first thing he says is "buy me a pint,pleeease,got no money" But if you remind him of his placcy bag dosh ,he says "no,thats MY money"

 

Gotta love him,does no one any harm (shrewd fcuker though) :D

Legend.  =D>
