He’s not from Bolton though, is he? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtySanchez Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 10 hours ago, MickyD said: I realised yesterday at the Bristol Rovers game just how big a deal he is. I’d sorted tickets out for @Felixflybad and his lad. We got to the WSL queue and Th’Ogden was signing autographs and videoing folk giving predictions, etc. Felixflybad’s lad was beside himself with excitement that he’d seen him and even more so that I introduced him and he managed to have a quick chat. At half time there were crowds of youth looking to have selfies with Th’Ogden and Th’Ogdad. But best of all, almost the entire Bristol Rovers support chanting that “Th’Ogden is a wanker!” Just the fact that enough of them recognised him and where he was sitting makes him a fairly big deal. When Derby were going through their shit a couple of years ago, they had a march from the city centre to the ground He was there My friend took her kids and they recognised hi, got selfies etc Seems it's not just amongst our fans he's a 'celeb' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanderlust Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 A quick check also reveals that he was brought up in Altricham (Bowdon) where his dad was a Tory councillor. "Thogdad" unsuccessfully fought for the Tory candidacy for Bolton West. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traf Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 They're both decent people, both support Bolton, both easy to talk to. Theo hit it lucky starting his vlogs at just the right time and has been very successful. Fair play to him. Reality is that the family has more than enough money without the vlogging stuff, but Theo loves doing it and the access to matches that comes with it.

Could argue it’s only like any of us missing games through work, I suppose. Other than that, not my kind of thing, but crack on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
