When I was a little boy
I asked my daddy what would i be
would I be United, would i be Leeds
Here's what he said to me

Oh Grimsby Grimsby
Whatever will be will be
You'll follow then faithfully
Oh Grimsby Grimsby


Tell me Mam me Mam
I dont want no tea no tea
I'm watching the Grimsby
Tell me Mam me mam

I'd be interested to hear his thoughts on his time at Town.

Quoted from Knut Anders Fosters Voles
Scraping the barrel for celebrities who don’t have an ongoing restraining order against me...

I flew to Zürich in Dec 2018 next to Man City’s third choice keeper Ante Muric, a day after he had saved a penalty in a League Cup match (think he was star struck, he pretended not to know me). There wasn’t much room, he could spread himself like Lurpak. Too close to pap.

I was on an EasyJet flight from Madrid to Liverpool with Pepe Reina after he had presumably been to the Real vs Barca champions league semi in 2011. Papped the back of his head and treasure that bald, blurred photo like my first born.

In non-goalkeeper spottings:

Peter Crouch in Manc Airport (in his Liverpool days) - too intrusive to pap. Long legs, long face, think Liverpool had just lost a Europa league match

Natalie Cassidy (Sonia from Eastenders) in a bar in London -
too demeaning to pap. She was with Rhona Cameron but had to “ask jeeves” who she was weeks later

Michael Aspel in Amalfi - too young to pap (me, not him)

Kelvin Fletcher (and wife) flying home on NYD the other month - too jet-lagged to pap

Gillian McKeith (You Are What You Eat) in David Bann in Edinburgh - too constipated to pap (and poop)

Jack P Shepherd (Corrie’s Baby David) - I’ve seen him in Leeds and Manchester so many times he’s starting to get nervous - unpappable under any pressure

Sophie Raworth in her Look North days in Leeds - felt wrong to pap, so I didn’t. I think I only had a Nokia 3310 anyway so I probably could have snaked her at best

Duncan Preston collecting his leaky lamb bhuna from a takeaway - too angry to pap

Chris Moyles - Tesco Express, Leeds - couldn’t get a clear shot

Lord John Tondeur - tried to pap him but got detention

Gok Wan - Leeds - papped but too blurry for commercial use.

Gareth Southgate at York station in his Middlesbrough days (pre waistcoat and England). Looked too forlorn to pap

Dean Windass - we were both too drunk to remember what was papped and what wasn’t.

Ex-Taiwanese & Man Utd starlet Yeung Li Sharpe in Headingley. He was very friendly (possibly inebriated) and, after crossing my fingers and telling him I hated Lee Dixon, he obligingly signed by laminated GTFC 02/03 fixture list. By the end of a sweaty Otley Run it had rubbed off (the signature, not Sharpie) and was lost forever; possibly a metaphor for his career.


...Barrel well and truly scraped




I really haven’t got a clue if any of that is true, but either way, it was entertaining 👍

While on holiday we had an Arsenal youth player sat one side of us who went on to play for Peterbrough.

On the other side we had a very pretty lady who was a dancer with her daughter who we saw in a TV advert when we got home.

Sorry can not remember their names but I bet they can not remember ours either .  

Also played football against Duncan McKenzie before he moved on to bigger things.

Me and my mate once stood behind Stacy Coldicott in a taxi rank in Cleethorpes in the early hours. My mate shouted Stacy, he turned round to see who shouted, we were the only people behind him.

While in Manchester with the Mrs last January we also saw Shaun Pearson and the entire Wrexham squad in a bar having their Christmas party, she took a picture with him and got him to wave to me as I looked embarrassed on the other side of the room. My vision of footballers running amok whilst drunk was somewhat ruined as they were incredibly polite. Luke Summerfield was there also but identifying as a town fan to him probably wouldn’t have been the best idea given the abuse he got.
