I remember being in Kavos 2012 and paying a euro to go on the computers in the hotel to check this place for signings, thinking we’d kick on after qualifying for Europe. We signed Vurnin Anita only, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughes, should never have lost that after being 1 nil up from 1st leg, the beginning of our fall from grace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me and my mates were in Budapest crowded round the hotel computer on NUFC.com hungover to fuck. That Owen one is one of the greatest regrets of my life. Had arrived at a hostel in Las Vegas lets say "mildly refreshed" and full of bravado. Decided to join a group playing pool and got cracking on with an extremely fit Brazilian lass that someone like me had no right cracking onto. Got cuddling with her as the night wore on. Then my phone goes with a random text from the Ronnie Gill just stating "TOON SIGN OWEN." Adrenaline kicked in, couldn’t get her off me lap quick enough, jumped up like someone had stuck a hot poker up my arse and raced through to the computer room to log on and find out if it was true. Came back 20 minutes later to find her chatting to some aussie lad. She turned around, scowled at me and some lad says "think you've missed your chance there. running off like that dude." Whenever I was in that hostel over the next few days I had to watch the lass with this aussie kissing and canoodling with each other. Wouldn't have minded but as we all know the transfer was a fucking disaster and all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
