He is, unfortunately quite unlikeable at times. I had the misfortune to be a mere young, female public facing level employee somewhere once. He had been somehow frustrated by a higher up but the nasty, petty and sexist language aimed at me instead of the person involved was enough to put me off forever.
It made me feel nauseous watching him kiss the Blunts ar*ses in that interview, whether it was allegedly just a bit of joking or not.
Thanks, it was some years back but it has stuck with me. I know a few people from the industry that I was in that found him similarly unpleasant.
I’ve heard rumours that he was tight over the years & always after a freebie but I know he gave a huge sum of money to the Tiny Hearts charity to help open a new ward at Barnsley hospital to help look after sick babies so he’ll do for me.
Well aye, considering he's serving a life sentence for terrorism, I think he'd find it difficult. Edit: I've realised you think I'm talking about Dickie Bird and not Abu Hamza.
Lee Doughty the referee. If I remember right, he's the one we had about 8 times when we were playing behind closed doors, and kept finding unique ways of screwing us over.
I don't think so - we did have him four times in the Val season but we won two and drew two. He even gave us a last minute penalty in one of the draws which must make him a total rarity the other way.
I just remember his face. Just had a look. I think it's the 0-0 away at Forest I remember. Pretty sure he turned away a stonewall penalty in the last minute.
