Alan_Groves_Perm Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Just got back from Boundary Blues Xmas Party and Mathew was there. He got to the final of the "Jump On The Back Of A Player When The Music Stops" and Franny announced his win this evening on the box and got a huge round of applause. After the game, and collecting his prize, Alan Hardy was talking to Mathews dad and taking notes. Hope the Club are going to acknowledge his brilliant achievement through Mr Hardy.

laticsrblue Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 I missed it. Could someone youtube it? Definitely get the lad on the pitch vs Forest for a round of applause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego_Sideburns Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Been out - just watched a recording of it. He also gave the correct answer about why he wouldn't support ManUre! Good lad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boundaryblue80 Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 "Oldham toured 2 African countires in ????, Rhodesia and...? Bangdaglesh?" OAFCShuck??? Come on now... Would've got 3 wrong myself. Couldn't remember the Betsy one either but I knew it began with S. Was thinking Sierra Leone but wasn't convinced it was that either. Wouldn't have got the Oldham County answer, nor the 2 African countries toured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafcprozac Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 well done Matthew - beat me - i got 5 wrong (including Ian Marshall, even though I was there !!!) I think the little toff's stubborn refusal to 'pass' cost him big time, that and the afct his general knowledge in comparison to the others came up short! I also found his choice of subject a little lacking in credibility when most of the William Wallace story is based on Myth and folklore rather than firm historical fact. I particularly enjoyed the young lad's comment re: Wallace's 5 foot sword, find that hard to swallow by the fact the 'towering' Wallace is widely accepted by most credible historians to have been a right short-arse! Being a potential history teacher I was impressed how quickly Matthew correctly identified Henry VIII's successor. Got them all apart from Malawi. His dad should be shot for not passing on tales of Ian Marshall's brace, probably the most important goals in the clubs history! Well done Matthew a credit to your club and family! Good luck in the final! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
