Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Met him once where I worked, was a really nice guy. Sure it was just a one off meeting, but first impressions were decent. "You're Michael Bridges, aren't you?" "Haha, aye, was it the big nose that gave away?" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raconteur Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 He's apparently much loved at Newcastle Jets, he's been moved upstairs to help the new billionaire owner work out how to use his new toy... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leazes1986 Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 He had one good season at Carlisle I seem to remember. I think that was before he signed for Hull. Banged them in and you could see the class in some of his goals just watching highlights. Was brilliant at Leeds though. Shame. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Most people never encounter a feeling of sheer awe - like, a greater presence amongst you in the same room. Well, March 2003, against Valerenga - i had that feeling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedro111 Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 I remember when he fucked his leg whilst at Leeds about the year 2000, I was working in a bar in Whitley and he was always in on the piss with the cast on his leg. He brought Robbie Keane and Smith down one time and it was like Hollywood had come to Whitley or something. Canny lad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fugazi Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 I played for the same Sunday team as one of his best mates in Whitley, he was proper sound when I met him. He played in a kickabout with us when one of our matches was postponed before kick-off as well, some marvellous link-play with me up top. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had been decimated by injuries and had lost 2 yards of pace by the time SBR brought him in. Shame, as he was quality before.

Kanj Posted August 27, 2025 Share Posted August 27, 2025 He’s an absolutely class guy. So nice. Spoke to him in Orlando when the club was here for the PL fan fest. He was the reason I got to meet Big Al and take a photo with him on my birthday. Childhood dream complete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
