CraigBOTN 11 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Hi Oldham fans, Hope you are all well. I wanted to just drop in as it may be a video of interest to many of you. I am a presenter on Back of the Net, an AFC Bournemouth channel. Yesterday, ahead of our FA Cup game I interviewed and discussed Oldham and memories with a very famous fan... Professor Brian Cox. I hope you don't mind me posting this but I thought it would be of interest to many of you. For the video see below. Please do feel free to leave your thoughts and all the very best for the rest of the season. Craig 5 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Monty Burns 2,227 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Not gona lie, that was probably the best 40mins lve ever spent on youtube. The man is a prophet. If l ever do actually give up and disappear from 'real life' for longer than 12 months and you were so inclined to care to find me, just search for prof Cox cults and you'll probably find me there with a couple of your wives. Love that man. Kudos to the show for the questions, excellent questions, no doubt Sir Bri paid compliments to them too. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

al_bro 365 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 That was a very interesting listen. Brian Cox is so articulate and interesting to listen to. You never get the impression from him that he seems superior, like some people who probably aren't as clever as him. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave_Og 3,836 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 I think he was in the first year when I was in the sixth form; one of my many tenuous claims to fame. Sadly none of them are any better than tenuous.... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GlossopLatic 2,663 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 That man has such a wonderfully soothing voice. I could listen to it all day. I think we can forgive him not turning upto home games against Colchester on a Tuesday night if he's trying to understand and educate mankind about the universe. It's sort of a bigger deal. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Longlostfan 56 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 In the biog for (one of ) his book(s) it says he is a Prof at Manchester but lives in London. I don't think too many Profs spend a lot of time lecturing first years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
