I was there at the Derby match at Goodison (I think?) when he was given a handbag by one of our fans - said 'thank you' and put it behind the goal, great bloke! :)

RIP

Remember being in the boys pen when someone ran out of the Kop and presented him with a handbag. Funny as fuck but he took it in good spirit. RIP

Well I hope you live long now, I pray the Lord
your soul to keep

They'll stand there laughing and tramp the

You have posted literally nothing of substance to flame about.  Your "points", and I dread to call them that, were superficial and completely arbitrary.  Nothing you said could be argued against because nothing you said elaborated a position of any kind.
