Blue_Pizza Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Was me debut at one of these do's and I was very impressed. Penney is actually a decent bloke, was speaking to him for quite a while. Penney In. What he have to say? Highlight of the night? Joe's anecdote about the (sadly) absent Roger Palmer. The Dodger didn't turn up up for training one day, so Joe rang 'home' to see what the problem was. "Hello, it's Joe Royle here from Oldham Athletic, is Roger there please?" Nope, he's not here! "Do you you when he'll be back? (Cue Waltons type conversation) ANYONE SEEN ROGER? Hello? Yes, love i'm still here - He's got appendicitis...phone goes dead............ Three days later Roger returns to training looking a little worse for wear. John Ryan and Paul Atkinson could run for England and had been out injured and been training with Bill Urmson, Joe takes Bill Urmson to one side and says (pointing at Roger) 'Run the bastard into the ground!' A few hours later, a smug Joe Royle sees a knackered Atkinson and Ryan are back from training, smugly Royle asks Urmson where Roger is? Bill replies, "It's no good Joe, he beasted both of them.......!!!!" A great story and adds to the enigma of our greatest ever goalscorer! Cracking story that, getting lifts home, yet no-one ever knew where he lived. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singe Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Sounds a great night. You have to hope that the yopunger players can see that awe and esteem people can be held in rubs of on them. That they get the desire to achieve, and put the work in. but you can have great memories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They missed the special part. Though Hazell remained cos I saw him outside alone stood near his car that doesn't smack of a pro footballers car at all. EDIT: Perhaps I shouldn't jump to conclusions. Just because I saw him at the start of the evening getting out of it amd stood near it at the end doesn't mean it's his!

When he first rolled up for talks in June 2007 he turned up in a Merc with the reg something similar to REU 8EN. I'd never have guessed it was him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tangerinedreams Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Just a brilliant night with some great stories, Greegs like a jack in the box with the presentation of awards, some classic slip of the tongue, I'm glad mine is small fry in comparison to what I have heard this morning..... :lol: :lol: It was much better than I expected, saying that, I didn't know what to expect, the squad from 20 years ago were looking in great shape, even though I couldn't find the elusive Dennis Irwin I had a great night....Prozac, you moved faster than our 2 front men put together on Wednesday, good to see so many people enjoying themselves....A big well done to the organisers as well, it was faultless!

davemathieson Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Can someone do me a favour and tell me who is who in the photo from the fishal? I know some but the photo is pretty small and they are obviously a bit different from playing days! Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorrro Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 L-R Dunno , Rick Holden, Andy Rhodes, Neil Redfearn, Ian Marshall, Jon Hallworth (tubs!), Neil Adams? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to be similar to Zorrro in names but question answered. Dunno on the left either, wasn't sure on Redfeard or Adams. The man I wanted confirmation on was Jon Hallworth. He comes over to the Isle of Man regularly to see Rick Holden apparently, woman next to me in work also works in a pub in Peel, where he lives. Jon is a Guinness drinker incase anyone wondered!

Canada_latic Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 What he have to say? Cracking story that, getting lifts home, yet no-one ever knew where he lived. +1 I wouldn't mind knowing what Mr Penney had to say, given the relationship between him and most of the fans. I just hope the current staff at the club that were there from owners down to the players were inspired and realised what could be achieved at this club with continuity and everybody being on the same side. Better realationship with the fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canada_latic Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Simon Corney looked like he had a good night and if ever he needed to see what could be achieved with a lot of faith and continuity, then it was there for all to see last night... Bloomin' knackered in work today! I was still buzzing though! I completely agree with that point! I hope they got that into there heads.

Jon is a Guinness drinker incase anyone wondered! Thought Hallworth lived in Springhead. Or are you talking about Holden living in Peel? Where are you Douglas?
