Ah John Brennan’s was comic central back in the day.

Viktor Boskovic was a favourite of mine. He took no shit and used very little punctuation.

Do you remember the one about the lad from brazil or somewhere, Jorge porbillas?? Who was signed to some epl club in a Barnes-dalgleshian fashion, and it turned out that though he had the had the same name as a famous international, he couldn’t actually play football and it was all a scam. He was kept around the place, got a gig with the youth team and woof, quite amazingly, was developing into a messsian footballer when the comic went tits up.
Lefty also was a favourite of mine.

43

Did any of you cunts ever try talking to a young wan or knocking one out to a bit of porn? Bloody hell, you cunts were squares.

44

Fuck off back to your AAA hippy.

45

Can both not be done at the same time?

I had a good conversation with @Monkey Allen couple of months back on Roy of the Rovers. He recalled a story from the 80s where the team went to the Middle East or Africa and became involved in a coup to overthrown the government. Half the team were killed.

They don’t make them like that anymore.[/QUOTE]

8 players were killed by the terrorists, including stalwart defender Noel Baxter. The Middle East has been in turmoil since.

Myself and @farmerinthecity picked our all time Roy of the Rovers XI that evening, it was a wild drunken night. I believe we went with the following:

Gordon Stewart

Noel Baxter
Johnny Dexter
Steve Marks
Duncan McKay

Pak Soon (you have to have one foreign player)
Blackie Gray
Tommy Barnes

Roy Race
Hot Shot Hamish
Kevin Mouse

Obviously if Billy Dane was wearing Dead Shot Keen’s boots he would replace Tommy Barnes. Without the boots he wouldn’t be let near the squad.
Honourable mentions to Charlie Carter, Merv Wallace, wee Wally Campbell, Ginger Collins, Skinny Lane, Nipper Lawrence, Rob Richards and Jess Barton of Durrells Palace.

53

Worst thread on the internet, bring back the goblin and wizard freaks.

54

Buy it now and then - mainly if I am in an airport

It is hit and miss but when it is good it is very very good - most people seem to not really find it funny

It’s never too late to have a happy childhood @ChocolateMice

What was everyone’s favourite Melchester Rovers kit?

1973 for me followed by 1986

The pills must have been going around the design room for the 1997 effort :confused:

59

Has to be the 73, Piles. A great year.

60

This is worse then lads in their 30s/40s playing play stations and the likes.

This place is full of freaks.
