Lovely little story from yesterday

Overheard two lads in the stands yesterday talking about the old boy in the Navy club who turns up with a packed lunch for good luck. He’s been doing it since the 60s. Apparently his missus was a bit down in the dumps with all of this Russia nonsense and sent her bloke to the match without his lunch. Anyway, according to the lads in the stands, he sat down to drink his pint but couldn’t bring himself to look at the spot where his packed lunch was so all the lads at the adjoining tables decided to keep it a secret and chip in and buy the old boy a packet of crisps.

Apparently bloke wasn’t even that bothered at first because he prefers prawn cocktail and they got him them sweet chilli sensations, but things changed when he got halfway through the bag and he found a crisp with a lions mouth on it. The bar went up like. Everyone cheering and sending pictures of the lions mouth to their mates. Ended up with about 100 people coming to the pub to see it.

Don’t really hear many things like that on match day do you. Maybe it’ll be the start of a change in fortunes

It's stuff like this that puts everything else into perspective.

Thanks for sharing op.

Must have got the crisps from Barry's Bargain Superstore. You wouldn't get this kind of surprise quality from the Poundzone lads.

Straight from the lion's mouth - there's too much sweet chilli sensationalism in this thread for it to be true 😂.
