singe Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 This cropped up on Twitter. I guess a few may well now say they were aware, would be good to hear more. I know he was born in Rochdale. Here is the article that sparked, with references to Rachubka, Goram and Belle Vue (tenously) http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/became-racing-driver-thanks-mum-8313063 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harry1203 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 I went to school with him and his brother. He went to Firbank and North Chadderton school. He’s lived in a Royton all his life and now lives on Tandle Hill Rd. They had season tickets when they were younger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing wrong with humanising footballers. Makes a change from the common conclusion that opposition players/managers are baby eating monsters based on a couple of moments during 90 minutes.

How many fans that he clapped would have been aware he was supporting them?! A minority I suspect, hence my post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatchLatics Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I thought this was standard knowledge? Especially when he was with Blackpool in the Prem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cliff Byrne did the opposite when he was with us. Highlight of yesterday was Gilks' tantrum and launching the ball into the ground like a toddler.
