Aye, they grow legs every time they are told
Can anyone recall the game? I'm guessing it was in the 87-88 season
Why sack Durban

And we drew 1-1 . McPhail from the spot .

His story about the Rochdale pie man is epic

Does sound like either he's got some facts wrong or thr whole thing is just fiction

Chesterfield's new (relatively) ground is smart.

Yeah I was there for the 87/8 game and it was 1-1, can’t remember any bother. Why let the truth get in the way of a good story

Aye all true that and I was the lad who was in with the Chesterfield lot and got chased up into the top corner of their end and proceeded to get stuck right into them
Fkn bullshitter would've been more impressed if he'd said the ref looked like Norman Tebbit, which he did
We had half the side he claimed he ran, also one end and some seats

I went to a Sportsman dinner around 2008 at the local cricket club and he told exactly that story.

My Dad had some great stories of when he was a Ref.
One that come's to mind was when he told me about a game that involved a copper playing. He booked the copper for a bad foul and as the copper walked away, the copper shouted, "REF! next time I see you on the road, I'm going to book you for speeding". My dad shouted back, " Come here son". When the copper came over my dad said "Look, you may be the law off the field, but while you are on the field, I am the law", then showed him a second yellow, then red. It made me feel really proud of him.
