Hey Alan, get the polish out, I think it needs a clean

[wazza]

Is it being pawned, so they can post bail ???

[stattointhailand]

If it had sound, you would here me puting a curse on Sunderland so as they never win the thing again

[Irish Alan]

Statt... That is like the picture quiz in Question of sport. Who is it? Well dodgy Barnet innit?

[beer monkey]

Is it you statto...?

[stattointhailand]

Yep, 18th Nov 1975.

[beer monkey]

Thought so....Brilliant.. =D>

I dont follow Eng football but the only game i do remember in all the nights i watched the FA cup finals back in my younger days , was when Sunderland beat Leeds ( Billy Bremner lost the plot )

[beer monkey]

So that was the year for the Hammers (1975).....How did you manage to get hold of the cup stattoo, was you a West Ham man back then..?

[stattointhailand]

N E V E R

I supported my local non league side Romford, and West Ham (the local "Big" club) came to Brooklands to play in the first match to be played under the new floodlights.
In those days, I worked part time behind the club bar, and the staff all had their piccy taken with the cup after the game.
Pretty good huh, bit like "name dropping" really, but it sure as hell beats "I know the lady in Tesco's who does the ordering for .........."
Just think, the guy in the Anfield trophy room has had to clean the bit of the FA Cup that statto kissed!!

Nice one Statto. I thought it was Pat Jennings.

Statto

Udon's secret FA cup Holder.

Appearing at the next night market meeting, signing beer mats and check bins for all those who wish to attend.

[stattointhailand]

Signed copies of the photo available at very reasonable rates , and very rare tape of Channel 4 interview will be auctioned ....... (thank god they don't use VHS players anymore )

[wazza]

DJ at the night market will play the VHS on the big screen " If the Price is Right "

[stattointhailand]

The "Hockey match" was rubbish, and the interview was no better. Hopefully I have the only copy still in existance. It was quite funny though, the week after, I was in Belfast for a match, and had loads of people tell me that they had seen me on TV and asking for an autograph.

[Irish Alan]

Ah errr mmmm, so it is you Statt... errrr nice haircut...



Sidenote:

We used to throw trivia questions around in work. One day one goes out(1985), "Who were the last 4 Irishmen to play at Wembley?"

So we are thinking Fa Cup Final, Frank Stapleton, Kevin Moran, Paul McGrath, Kevin Sheedy. "No wrong after that..." So we wrack our brains (I had one back then) but we are stumped.

Answer: U2 at Live Aid... He got a bit of this...

[stattointhailand]

Didn't Bob Geldoff play later with McCartney/Clapton/etc; if he did, only 3 of U2 were the in the last 4 Irishmen to play at Wembley

P.S I'd only just had about 12 ins cut off when that photo was taken

Hadn't thought of Geldof... Don't know where our question master is these days. Actually that would rule out Bono as technically he doesn't play he sings mostly (he does carry a guitar now and again).

Anyway to get back on topic... LIVERPOOL FOR THE CUP. And the lads can bring it with them when they visit Steven Gerrard in Walton nick.
