I've just been having a quick look at the latest missives from some of the Stoke players on Twitter - something I do about once a month, or less.
Peter Odemwingie has retweeted this from Matt Smith (sports journalist and presenter) who's obviously seen it elsewhere:

How very apt.

I wonder what the great Sir Stanley Matthews would think of Twatter?
 |
|
By:
From what I've heard, he'd probably buy shares in it if he could make a quid or two!
|

By:
Really tommy, was he a bit of a capitalist? lol.

Jimmy Greenhof was my favourite Stoke player.

By:
Were originally called Stoke Ramblers which is a bit of a surprise given their location.
|
|
By:
haha! From what I've heard he was, Mac!
Might have been a great footballer, of that there is no doubt, but as tight as a duck's sphincter and always out for his own ends are stories I've heard about him ever since. Starting with the time I had a verruca as a kid and was attended to by SCFC's chiropodist! |

Sounds like my lifetime pal, lol. His wife told me that he takes his battery out his watch when he goes to bed.

haha! Very funny!

There was a guy I used to work with who had been everywhere and done everything, you must have met similar tommy, a braggard (and that`s me being polite) or as we call them up here a *** of ****
He once told us that he lost his big toe to frostbite in the sixties when on National Service but it grew back on! |
|
By:
hahahaha! Brilliant!

How's your dad, Mac?
|
|
By:
He said that he played for Ipswich during the 50s, so I checked players records and surprise surprise, no trace of him, lol.
He said he was radio operator and was on a night mission. It was pitch dark and he stumbled and fell off a mountain. He thought he was a goner but his radio pack got caught on a branch 500 feet down and he was pulled to safety when daylight broke. ha.ha.ha. |

CC had another small stroke a fortnight ago tommy, but has made a good recovery. Sight almost gone, hearing bad, immobile, but still positive and as sharp as a tack. Thanks for asking mate, appreciate that. I will let CC know!
|
|
By:
Great stuff!
|
|
By:
- by heck, that was bad timing.
The 'great stuff' was to you post about the braggard - and most certainly not about your dad. Give him my best regards, Mac - and treasure him. |
|
By:
lol tommy. No worries mate.
How are you yourself? Are you still going on nights out to Hanley with all them loose women? |
|
By:
I certain will treasure CC tommy. I wish I had the same outlook on life. No old folks home for CC, and I don`t mean any offence to people who can`t cope and have no other option.

By:
I'm fine, thanks Mac, hope you are too.
I'm currently out and about up ''anley duck' putting a reign on all the loose women, if you will! Can't say too much, but a conversation from a few nights ago went something like this, after a young lady on the verge of inebriation said to me after spotting my name badge: "Tommy, I'm going to wee if you don't hurry up!" "No, no. You really aren't" "But I am!" "No. You are not." Guffaws of laughter from the young lady and her mate because of the way I said she wasn't going to wee - and she didn't! |
|
By:
Indeed, Mac.
Everyone's life is different - especially to what they can and can't withstand. When you've got a bloody good dad though you treasure them all you can, 'cos once they've gone, there's no replacing them. Ever. |
|
By:
Too true tommy. Thanks
|
|
By:
lol tommy. Hanley seems to be full of female ravers
|
|
By:
Well, that's one way to describe them!
