I went to Sheffield Uni with Rob Knowles and did some politics modules with him during our promotion season and he was a bit of a numpty to say the least. I get the feeling that he was never particularly interested in BFC before we were in the Prem as I had to give him some of my ticket stubs so that he could get a season ticket in the Prem (I'd had a half season ticket and also had all my stubs from the first half of the season). Rob only had three stubs - claimed to have "lost" the rest of them but I reckon that he didn't actually go to any matches. Suspected as much at the time but was caught up in the euphoria of promotion so didn't really care. Also his knowledge of BFC and his football knowledge in general was severely stunted...... PS - in case you want to send me any letters threatening legal action, my address is Comrade Merde Tete, 40-75 Varshavskaya Ulitsa, Moscovskaya Raion, St Petersburg, Russia. PPS - make sure that the address is correctly spelled in CYRILLIC letters if you want your petty threats to arrive intact. And even then it probably won't cos the postal system here is a bit crap.
Saw him when I flew back for the Donny match (oops), he's moving to Wakefield shortly I believe to start on the more rural type of man - those Sheffield types are just too sophisticated for him. He's off to Prague next week for some more sauna action with a local model called Marek as far as I'm aware. Spoke to him on the phone last week but couldn't get the full story as he was paralytic. So same old really......
Hehe. Absolutely great story. The more things change the more they stay the same. I'm hoping to see him over Christmas if he goes home to Barnsley for the festive period...
I'm sure he'll be doing his usual in the Wolley / Rose & Crown...... ....back meself so maybe me and Mrs Merde will join you for a swift one.
RE: I'm sure he'll be doing his usual in the Wolley / Rose & Crown...... Ooh, smashing. I'll be there with big ringing bells on. You might even be the first member of the Buffoon board to meet the woman formerly referred to as "Steffi"...
Beware the Russian mafia! Who knows what kind of connections Barnsley FC and Rob Knowles have! ff *goes to remove the full name from the profile*
