San Fran City Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 I taught John Mcenroes children (kevin and shaun) to play tennis at an academy in Boston. John M joined me and a few others for a game of footy and was very good. Asked him if he had played before to which he answered "at high school I had to choose between tennis and soccer". Made the right choice then??! Demi and Bruce had there nippers at the academy as well. Otherwise, interviewd a Lib Dem MP on a live sixth form political chat show (htvwest) and led a mini pitch invasion when T Thorpe equalised against Wigan away a few seasons ago - we lost 2-1 and when Wigan got the winner one of there fans nearly got to the half way line before being broken by two stewrds.

RedTop Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 Tell the forum something about you that we dont know, something interesting. eg. A famous relative eg. A TV apprearence eg. A top achievement. Most interesting, non fictional fact, wins a prize.... Famous relative: Women weakened at the knees by my ravishing good looks often express surprise that I am in no way related to Errol Flynn. I am also not related to my vertically-challenged namesake former Wrexham and Swansea manager and (dirty) Leeds midfielder. TV appearance: The one I am proudest of was at Ashton Gate, grinning unshaven into the camera like an imbecile as I jubilantly waved my FA Cup tickets for Cambridge away at the HTV cameras after a night spent queuing. Boy, was the smile wiped off my face at that game. Top achievement: Rolling around in £50m of real tenners with a near-naked Emma Noble on my knee for a photoshoot. The achievement was to avoid MrsRedTop divorcing me afterwards when she saw the pictures. I also took Jordan on her first Page Three modelling job and, using my expertise in such matters, confidently predicted she would never make it.

City Exile Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 Top achievment - peeing on Willie John McBride and getting away with it. For those of you who that means nothing - a very large and robust Irish Rugby International, who had some success. My defence - I was 9 mths old at the time - my father played alongside him at Ballymena. TV apperiences - sadly a few, but all really boring, usually local to MK. Most famous relative - distant cousin of Michael Collins. If not a student of Irish history, afraid I'm not going to elaborate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

22A Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 Famous people met; At Redcliffe School I served the Princess of Nepal lunch. At a garage in Clifton I served Arthur Negus with petrol. TV appearances; Because of my daughter's disabillities, ITV's 1992 telethon filmed a typical day in our house. When the editor finished, the segment that went out took up five minutes of the live production. I have also appeared in several crowd scenes over the years on "Match of the day". Biggest achievement; For nine years I was Leader of a Venture Scout Unit (Scouting for the 15-20 year olds of both sexes). In those nine years I helped 18 young people achieve the Queen's Scout Award (similar to the Gold D of E Award, but slightly harder)! Biggest hypocrisy; Twice this season I've also provided overnight accommodation for forum members after City away games. My children point out that these were strangers I met on the internet and I invited them into the house! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screech Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 I am scraping the bottom of the barell but here goes. When Bristol City decided to send a couple of players to a charity football match in the forest of dean many years ago when I were but a small lad, I went in to the changing rooms to grab Chris Garlands autograph, only for him to let off what could only be described as a mustard gas fart, after everyone got a breath of that baby, he'd single handedly managed to clear out the changing rooms of players, I ran out coughing and spluttering for air and never got the signature. I used to have Beckhams mobile number from a friend who worked for an insurance company who (ahem ) found it on his computer records. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Ed Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Going back a fair few years, me and a mate were walking along St. Johns Lane on our way to the Gate for a game against Hull City. A car pulled up and the driver asked for directions to the ground. I told him that's where we were heading and said we could show him if he gave us a lift. The driver turned out to be Roy North of Basil Brush and Get it Together fame. (That'll probably go over all the young un's heads.) "Mr. Roy" was a Hull fan and was fairly tolerant of our Basil Brush pi$$takes. I was also on the telly during the League Cup semi 2nd leg v Forest pictured with an inflatable zebra on my shoulders. Not particularly something to be proud of but it was better than the inflatable tooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redminster Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 A top achievement. Doing the 3 peaks challenge last year in under the stipulated 24 hours. To the uninitiated, this involves climbing the highest mountain in England, Wales and Scotland in under 24 hours (including driving time between mountains). It works out as 50-odd miles up and down mountains.

Guest bemmyred Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 I reached the final of The Radio Bristol commentary competition. I competed with 3 others by having to commentate on 15 minutes of Gary Mabbutts testimonial match at Eastville against Spurs. Stood no chance as Mike Kay , then hospital broadcast commentator for Rovers, knew everyone. I was the only City boy there so I had great pleasure in saying that Rovers fans would never forget the day they lost 9-0 to Tottenham, which didnt go down too well with Colin Howlett and then assistant manager John McDowell. Did some work with G.W.R when they had a Saturday sports programme with Jonathan Pearce, and yes he was a right #######. Was part of their commentary team that went to the 1st Freight Rover final against Bolton. (Had to interview fans after each goal on the terraces). Worked on Radio Bristol saturday team, first with Keith Beach and Dominic Hollier, then Twentyman and Will Shindler. Reported mainly on Beazer Homes games at Weston when Pete Amos was manager and Clevedon Town . Achieved a life time ambition of reporting on a City game, 3 infact but all for the opposing team. Worked for Radio Essex , City v Southend, having to say "Great news at Ashton Gate its Bristol City 0 Southend United 1. Radio Humberside , City v Grimsby ( sunday afternoon live televised game),and Radio Cambridge for City v Cambridge Utd.

Guest twaters Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 Greatest moment. When working for GTFM who do the weekly cardiff city phone in, i was interveiwing Robert Earnshaw before the City vs Cardiff match at their place and said "good luck i hope you break a leg" My producer wasnt very impressed but Earnie found it funny. Proudest Moment Being named the official Bristol City correspondant for GTFM and reporting latest scores and action during our final months last season. Worst moment. Losing that play off 0-1 and not feeling as if we threw everything at them. I had to leave after that, i couldnt work in a Cardiff Radio station any longer. All those smug Cardiff fans. :@ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
