Macari Night?

[flammableBen]

I can't go because I'm working. gay.

[Sippo]

How did it all go last nite? Phil King said it was fantastic. Very touching when he spoke about his son?

[Bushey Boy]

Yeah it was, seems money and the glamour of football took his sons life.

Macari was a top man, very honest and still angry we got made a example of with the bungs.  Some absolute classics about steve foley and heres a quick one about Steve White:-

Swindon were playing against gillingham I believe and the club offered whoever got the man of the match award a Vauxall Astra 1.4 to keep.  All the players agreed whover won it would sell it and share it amonst the whole team.  Chalky scores a hat trick and wins it.  The bastard kept it and used to drive it to training each day.  On the way in he would beep to the lads who should have had a windfall to a response of wanker signs!!!

A brilliant night

It was a really good night - thanks to everyone who came. Lou and Phil were class - a great double act, they should take it on the road. And big ups to Paul W for doing a tremendous amount of work organising it all. Great night.

Top night, Lou was quality some brilliant stories - in particular being open and honest about the financial irregularties as well as the moving tribute about his son.

Phil King was a superb host as well so major thanks to Paul W for organising a quality night.

Cheers to Magic for the tickets as well, beer for you if your around before Mansfield or Walsall

the best story was about foley getting arrested in a drug den.  Some black dud had loads of coke on him when teh police raided and foley had 90k in cash on him.  Got to court macari had to stand up and say he always had money on him (which macari said was bull as he was the tightest player in the team) Foley claimed he won it at the racing and got away with it....!

King reckons he is now at her majerstys service!

Interesting thoughts on Leon Knight and his wasted talent too.

[Bushey Boy]

And getting Foley to turn up at the Macaris court case was a classic.

During the bung investigation, every player had to make a statement, and when it came to the court case, Foley was the last one to give evidence...but he couldn't be found. The jury probably thought that he was a very important witness, but no-one could find him. When Lou and his lawyers did find him and told him to turn up at court, he turned up in flip-flops and a pair of shorts !!!

He was just saying that out of his 3 sons he was the one with the most ability, had an awful lot of talent.  Think he said he joined Stoke? and things didn't go so well for him there and alot of his friends were getting paid off so he took this option as well.

Cant remember exact amount but pay off was in its thousands and he ended up blowing this over 6 months and things got on top of him and thats where he decided to take his own life, sorry not sure how accurate that is as cant remember it all but have nothing but respect for Lou for being able to tell that story, not sure I would be able to in the same situation.

He was reluctant to tell stories about dragging players out of nightclubs which was a shame

Well lets face it you really need some cooking tips.
You gt a winner i'd say!

Oh and Phil King also mentioned an up and coming legends match, which actually involves some true town legends!

Should be good, provided Sturrock lets them use the CG.
