Guest Brazilianbob Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I once shoved Matt Busby's pipe down his throat when he was coming out of the gents in a City centre hotel (can't remember the name of it but it was almost opposite the Lowther pub on Percy St?) when we were playing Manu at home in the 70's. I was watching over my shoulder as I went to the bog because all the Man u players coming out of the lifts ready to board the coach for SJP, Best, Charlton, Law, Kidd etc etc, and as I pushed open the bog door Busby was standing behind it drying his hands and the door smacked him full on the bowl of his pipe, and when I walked in all you could see of the pipe was the bowl, the rest was halfway down his throat. He had the Man U chairman with him at the time Louis Edwards. I don't think I was flavour of the month and didn't bother asking for an autograph like!

Village Idiot Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 When I played non-league football, one of the teams in the division (eventual champions) was captained by Vicente Sánchez - a complete unknown to you but former FC Barcelona captain. Guy ran circles around us even if he was 40, but I had the best day of my life (I was the goalie) and we sneaked a 3-2 win after I stopped like a half a million shots from him. Also one of my school mates was a centrehalf that eventually made it to the Spanish Olympic team, and played at Villarreal in La Liga, but his career took a nosedive shortly afterwards.

Thespence Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Know Anth Lormors brother. Me & Gimp both went to the same middle schoold as Watto & Thompon. Then the same high school as Watto. There year won everything at football. Me,Gimp & CP40 lived in the same street as one time Newcastle reserve Tom Heron who also was the cover star of there early 90's catalogue. Seen Tom recently on the bus, hair gone, smoking & piled a few pounds on. didnt Tommy get chased off Keegan for turning out for Battle Hill club?
