Approx 12 years ago i bumped into Tommy Smith in Berko High St - an absolute Gent. Had a good 5 min chat, mostly about the Everton goal. But I was certainly star struck!
Is there a single other business where wealthy owners or investors are allowed to buy into that business but not allowed to invest or improve that business as they see fit?
I remember not so long ago when posters thought we could be Div 2 bound and now I am also much more confident we will be OK. I also don't think Marti would have joined us if he hadn't been promised money for new recruits (particularly strikers and pace) this January. Gonna be an interesting time.
Can I share a true story with you. When I was a teenage sprog , just starting to go to away games, I was travelling with some fellow fans on a train from Paddington to Swindon, for, I think, the first game of the season, when word reached us that the team were on the same train in the buffet car. Plucking up the courage, I walked down the train with my autograph book in hand. Reaching the buffet, I walked up to Rodney Marsh, in awe, who unfortunately told me to go away (different words!) so I turned and started to walk back along the train. I got halfway back and felt a tap on my shoulder - turned and it was Terry Venables! He apologised and explained that Rodney was tired (!), asked me for my autograph book and said he would get ALL the players autographs for me. Imagine the look on all my friends faces when 15 minutes later, Terry arrived back with the book, all signed as promised. That was the mark of the man - a true gentleman. I am naturally very saddened by today's news. R.I.P Terry Venables.
When my Dad passed away, dementia meant he did not know who I was so the memory is still raw. So Ned, you and your family have my deepest condolences. for your loss.
Thought I'd come clean and admit that BerkoRanger is, indeed, also Instrumentals Club on social media. So please enjoy Happy Holidays and even consider Subscribing to my relaxing instrumental music channel.
Saudi's say they will pour in billions to professional golf as it now is a profit making sport. Yep - footy super league next..... Sky saying that Wilfred Zaha has been offered a 3 year 45 million pound deal to play in the middle east.
Thought the first goal was very impressive but who wants direct Gazball?..... I think the only way the penalty handball argument will be solved is if the law is changed so ANY handball (deliberate or otherwise) is a penalty. That would mean, however, 3 or 4 pens per game and stop / starting increased for VAR checks. Although I thought the better team won, I personally can't stand City's play from the back style. They were dangerously close to giving the ball away in their area a few times.
