King Of The Cat Cafe Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 I hope Steve Weddell has been keeping notes. There's enough material already for a good start to "Another Tale Of Two Seasons". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobNox Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 I'll get working on a title for the sequel. I suggested the title for the first book after Steve posted on here looking for ideas, although it's not something I like to go on and on and on and on about.

been here before Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Used to love his commentary on the darts. ""When Alexander of Macedonia was 33, he cried salt tears because there were no more worlds to conquer … Bristow's only 27." That would be my favourite.

O/T but I don't think I've ever hated a sportsman outside of football as much as Bristow, although McEnroe was a close second . I'd love them now, they were absolutely class and massive characters.

Seb Coe was someone I cheered on winning as a kid yet would happily watch fall flat on his daft wee puss now.

Nice guy actually. Of all the sports people I've met, Gary Lineker would be the biggest tosser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know personally of someone he spent loads of time helping out. He also gave an absurd amount of money to charity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TyphoonJambo Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 My brother in law picked up Sounness and his entourage from Edinburgh Airport. 5 minutes down the road and he leans over, "driver, can you pull over so I can jump in the front with you, these guys are boring the shit out of me" Spent the rest of the trip chatting away about Hearts and football in general. He's someone people slag of for being torn faced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d probably have said the same about each and every one in their prime , common denominator was the good old British/English media bumming them up just like their 1966 thingy , the actual sportsman and woman individually are good people doing great things we never hear about . Mcenroe was the bad boy Borg and Connors the good guys but I’d much prefer To have a beer with McEnroe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played shit but what a guy. I meet Eric a couple of times at the darts when I played, he was a gentleman, and most of his antics were for the crowd or media, To those who remember when he played Jocky Wilson at portobello town hall he was pelted with beer cans empty and full, he won £10,000 that night, I had the pleasure of driving him with my mate back to his hotel , asked him if he would ever come back , he said for ten grand ad play here every night shame he was taken from us far too soon a real star 🌟 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
