What famous fans do we have?

[manclad]

Yes he does. And if its Mike you're talking about(major dreads) he's a belting lad.

Yes,it is Mike. As I said his daughter is a lovely mixed race girl, although she has moved to her own place last year, so I only see her occasionally when she visits her mum.

 

[LongsightM13]

Yes he is. Taught me how to box back in the 80s when I was a kid. Trained us so hard but the fitness kept with me all my life. Had the world at his fists at one time but couldn't stay out of trouble unfortunately. His sons a decent fighter these days.

I remember her.
Didn't she sing " Lilac Wine", and also " Pearls a Singer" ??

Great solo female singer. Early career she was in Vinegar Joe's rock 'n' blues band with Robert Palmer.

 

[City Mike 1969]

I wonder if that photo was taken when he was playing a concert at Maine Road ??
I have no idea if he ever played on the hallowed turf during his singing career.
Great photo though.

yeah, he played a gig at Maine Rd. I used to work with someone who'd been employed by the external auditors of City at the time, Boardman Woolrich. Claimed to be a City supporter himself although never did anything other than verbally rubbish the club. He never shut up about the fact that City actually lost money on this concert...


had he been doing his job properly as an auditor, he really should have looked under P J Swales's bed for the missing cash.

Is that Pat Barrett the boxer, used to go by the nickname "The Black Flash" ??

Yes pal

I sat next to the actor John Henshaw at a home match v Charlton once. Maybe under Pearce. Won perhaps 4-0.

I’ve not seen him in anything for years but he was great in Early Doors and Looking For Eric.

The Keeper, he was in that.

Yes, sorry, it is his nephew. Knocks about with Brandon Williams.

Williams is Zelfa’s cousin, just to confuse matters even further!

This is like an episode of Soap. HAHA!! I didn't know that. I used to play footy with his dad many years ago, never knew him n Pat were related.
