Could we lose the "spazzy" bit? :-k

 

Don't get me wrong but I've been as guilty as anyone in the past, sometimes things happen that make you rethink....

 

Not having a dig or owt just think if you say Darren every red ginger knows who ur on about, the lads a legend, mithering tw@t too.

 

off the soapbox back to the beer :)

how the f??ck can he afford to go to the reebok?

 

mind you, why shouldnt he?

 

he was around WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY before the JCL's

in fact, imagine if he was thrown out by an orange warrior who did not know who he was, I would predict a riot.

Fair point crewe, the boozer that i go in with my mates happens to be Darrens local aswell,i must point out that the lad gets star treatment and doesn't get the piss taken out of him. The only reason i used the "spazzy" bit at the start of the thread,was so that people would instantly know who i was on about,no one calls him that in my pub,but a few years ago around town and at Burnden, it seemed to be his tag,unfortunately.

I'm not having a dig or moaning honest, sometimes things can happen close to home that makes your think about things.....

 

I have no doubt he gets star treatment, just have to read the comments on this thread.

 

He's a fcuking legend a bit like Northys teeth will be in 30 years time :)

Legend!!

 

Last saw him on the North Lower when we played West Ham in the Cup.

 

Also saw him in that Spiderman outfit against Marseille :D

I saw Darren a few years ago at Preston. He was joining in the warm up on the pitch with the Bolton players. A steward was going to take him away but Browny intervened and Darren was allowed to go back on the terrace.
