This thread always reminds me of this and how even in 2007 we had to endure bad sniping knobheads on RAWK
I bumped into a very bored and hen pecked looking Masch while he was out pram shopping with his missus in Boots in the Trafford Centre, was Sept 2008, the Thursday before we played the Mancs. Shook his hand and wished him luck for the Saturday, said please don't get sent off this time and he said he'd try
I always remember it as we flew to Portugal and landed while the game was on - we were 1-0 down by the time we were on the way to the hotel, then heard we'd equalised, at the hotel my missus ran into the bar to check the score as we heard a big roar, face like thunder as she found out it was 2-1
To the best of my knowledge only Sadio lives in South Liverpool now. I miss those days, seeing loads of players or their wives in Tesco or Calderstones Park.
Now they're all proper wools aren't they - they live in Formby or on the Wirral
I've been in Kennys back garden at his house in Birkdale and spoken to his Mum when she answered the door. It was when I was driving for work and delivered an bench saw to the blokes redoing his extension. I only knocked at the door hoping Kenny would answer. Did see him a few times driving his car when he was Blackburn manager.
Ings lived behind me for a year or so and I didn't even know it was him, in his Burnley days.
