toontownman Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Alan Carr's dad is our new chief scout. As if we werent the butt of all jokes already. That said, seems like he is quite highly rated and the more the merrier. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1249131/Graham-Carr-father-comedian-Alan-announced-Newcastle-chief-scout.html?ITO=1490 Graham Carr, father of comedian Alan, to be announced as Newcastle chief scout By Sportsmail Reporter Graham Carr, the father of TV comedian Alan Carr, will be announced as the new chief scout at Newcastle United this week.

Aphrodite Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Most of Alan Carr's stand up is based around how much his dad hated him, so he seems to have decent judgement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thespence Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 A few Christmas's ago. My dad & his mate were discussing Graham Carr & his son at the club & the phrase was "His son is a proper puff" which I think is working men club speak for camp.
