Stephane Grappelli Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Flamboyant football agent Eric Hall has died. Known for representing some of the biggest players of his day and catchphrases such as "booblah" and "monster monster", he even had his own spoof on The Fast Show involving a vampire that used to quote betting odds or fruit and veg prices. Also claimed that Freddy Mercury wanted to get his filthy little end away with him back in the day. Anyway, RIP Eric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb1874 Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Huge personality. I despise modern agents(Mino Raiola et al), but the game could do with more characters like him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SE16 3LN Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 London Hearts might know him from the Rob Roy and Royal Exchange some years back. He always bought a round and would talk to anyone about anything. Gave me a tip for a dog running at Walthamstow one night and it won at 5-1 (FTH}.

Joey J J Jr Shabadoo Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 (edited) Hall was meant to have got a goals scored bonus written into Dave Beasant's contract. He didn't realise that Beasant was a goalie. Edited November 17, 2020 by Joey J J Jr Shabadoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe just me but I find it ironic that you are being sarcastic about someones intellect then stick that gobblededook at the bottom of your post [I assume permanent quotes have a name but no idea what that is] "gobblededook" is gobbledegook to me. Did you see the original post? If so, as you have shown yourself, in your opinion, it is quite in order to mock that which you don't understand, even though over 2 billion people on this planet do understand it. So, I would be interested if you happen to think that Einstein's Theory of Relativity is gobbledegook? And don't googledebook. If you are genuinely interested in what it means I would be delighted to explain it to you - my signature that is, not the Theory of Relativity because, as I am not a physicist, I don't understand that. PS Should I be calling Einstein's theory "gobbledegook" because I don't understand it, or is that just reserved for those mocking the faith of these 2 billion plus?
