when did you play for them Spiff?

I played for their B team in 1990 but gave it up cos I was missing too many SUFC games!

I was in the 1995 team

in 1990 I was 11!

We were a bit hit'n'miss... win 6-0 one week, then lose 10-0 the next! Did you play next to Nazareth house in the schoolyard by the old BT exchange? Crap pitch wasn't it...

I been in it a various few times as part of photos for sports teams at school / college.

The most embarrising (which my mum bought the pic of and has in the lounge [curse!]) was when i was in the school choir in Infant school, and i got picked to carry this umbrella for some reason or other. I did a little hop and a step or sumit, and the Echo snapper caught it. Cursed blooming thing!

Alas, "fair or justified comment" is a complete defence to an action in defamation... It ain't libel if it's true...

Is it true? You've never tried Weightw*tchers to my knowledge

I have been in the echo several times. The best one is SUFC related.

It was during Barry Fry and Collymores time. We were playing on a friday night and wasnt due to finish work until 10pm so I phoned in sick.

We won with big Stan bagging a couple. After the game I walked out into the car park and was approached by an evening echo reporter. He asked for my comments and then took a photo. The following Monday had a pictire of me in the echo with the words underneath it... HICKEY- The buzz is back.
I speant the rest of that week bricking it in case my boss saw it and sussed on.

 

[Barry the dog]

I have been in it for affray back in 2000 for defending myself againdt a load of yobos from Doncaster.

For the record i got a not guilty at Chelmsford crown court.

The cockroach was in it the other year when he wrote a very heartful and tearjerking letter to Ron Martin with the title "Give us back our Home Uncle Ron".
Still brings a tear to my eye to this day.

Well, I've tried (and usually failed) to watch my weight, does that count...?

The best article in the Echo has to be the photo of 2 blokes who told their women they were working away for 2 weeks and went to stay at a holiday camp up north and picked up 2 girls. The northern birds sent a photo to the Echo with a "have you seen our lovers?" letter which was published. The 2 wives were not impressed.

 

[blues_r_best]

The only time I was in the Echo was when we beat the Marsh Rats, I'm the prat in the fluorescent yellow jacket.
