I'm aware of that (who isn't?), but I was referring to her status as 'house celebrity'. Point taken, it is a bit unfair. How about David Cameron and Bill Windsor at Villa?
Embarrassment to Barnsley? Why? For rising from humble origins to the top of his profession and re-knowned and highly esteemed for his honesty, modesty and sense of humour by the very best in cricket and sport? For never turning his back on his hometown and his own folk and never refusing a charitable request? For following the Reds through thick and thin all his life and having the good nature to do the odd bit of PR for the club/tv etc? I'll tell you who's the biggest embarrassment to Barnsley right now and it's not Dickie Bird.
dickie was respected by leeds and bfc fans alike when he was presented on the pitch new years eve. sounds to me you've formed your opinion from other people rather than your knowledge of the bloke. baaaa baaaa
I sort of agree with super tyke in this 1 (first and only time ever) Dickie bird right gets on my tits, if he would've been an inspirational world leader or savior to millions of dying people then I could buy into the 'local legend' *****, but he's was a fecking cricket umpire for Christ sake. A bloke who stands at a crease for 5 days either wafting his arms about or occasionally sticking a finger up! The bloke annoys the life out of me, everytime I see him on tele I dive straight under sofa. Like that time we got promoted to prem and was interviewed saying 'I had a tear in mi eye' what cos he's been charged to get into game! Then it topped it off when a bleeding statue was built for him! Cal me what you like but I think he's a tit. Rant over
