SadGary Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Mark Hughes thought the 9 year old me was a moron. I was getting his autograph in Telford Town Centre (I'm sure it can't be called that now, it's been a while. Thankfully) and he asked, 'who's it for?' 'Me' came the reply. So he asked again abought seven times and my response was always the same. It took my older brother to point out that he was asking my name. NB He was there with Ian Rush. How the **** did a country the size of Wales get two plyers that good playing up front at the same time and still they didn't qualify for anything? Imagine the current England team with Hughes and Rush up front! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 NB He was there with Ian Rush. How the **** did a country the size of Wales get two plyers that good playing up front at the same time and still they didn't qualify for anything? Imagine the current England team with Hughes and Rush up front! Because the other nine were **** awful? (to be fair, Neville Southall was pretty good as was Kevin Ratcliffe. So it was only the other seven that were **** awful.) I take your second point though. We would be awesome. Hughes is still the best target man ive ever seen. Rush was a goal machine.

paddy Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 My mate's sister lives with Steve Bruce's daughter, Amy is it? Can't remember.

alf_stewart Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Not a textbook 'claim to fame', but I didn't think it warranted a new thread (arguable). This morning I saw Bill Oddie in WHSmith's at the train station (Bristol). Didn't have time to tell him about my sig on VT as his wife/lover dragged him away.

Southall was class, Radcliffe was very good. Giggs wasnt even on the scene until late in the Rush/Hughes years. We also had Saunders, who was very good for us. However, we also had Paul **** Bodin. That tosser.... is the ONLY reason we did not go to USA 94. Do not try putting your penalty in the top corner when qualification depends on it, just **** make sure. Still makes me angry.

paddy Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Can't remember if I've put this one up before but I once was rushing to be sick in the bathroom at this place I was staying in Spain, someone was in there, they came out after I hammered on the door and I vaguely recognised them but had other things on my mind at the time. Turns out it was Jimmy Page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
