Mike Summerbee OBE

[smeeagain]

Does anybody have the clip?

 

[cleavers]

Was it for services to journalism for his prediction that we’d go to Old Toilet and dominate?

He should have got one for that rant on it's own.

 

[Vienna_70]

He should have got one for that rant on its own.

For services to clairvoyeurism?

 

[Banshee]

The clip of him in the stands after the 6-1 is one of my favourite things. His expressions are just priceless.

Brilliant and deserved.

Buzzer.

Brilliant.

Not heard that one for about 50 years .
Well remembered !!!

 

[The First Earl]

Buzzing for buzzer, nice one Mike.

 

[manclad]

Even his surname is closely linked with the symbol that represents industrial Manchester.
A true adopted son of our great city/City !!!

Unnecessary.

Not at all. There will be a shit load on here who this won't sit well with.

I personally would have loved him to have been knighted, but that appears to be for Rags only.

This board is extraordinarily left leaning and as such a lot won't care for this type of accolade.

Buzzing for buzzer, nice one Mike.

Couldn't agree more. He'll be made up. Good for the club as well. I love it.

 

[cleavers]

Can we leave politics for elsewhere please.

I recall the first line but not the rest.
Does it end with two letters that rhyme with 3?

The 21st century version would end in STD.
Or even more PC these days it would be STI .
But the last one doesn't rhyme very well!!!

 

[bluemurray]

Really pleased and well deserved Buzzer!

Spooky. I got in the car in Asda Hyde this afternoon and turned the engine on. The radio came on with that song, so I joined in with the chorus in full voice. The window was open and I got some strange looks!

Congratulations Michael George Summerbee, OBE. Well deserved.

Yes but George and Mike were good mates, so not a song Mike would care for.

Oui (as they say in France)
