[watching Mackay testing the curry in the prison kitchens] Fletcher: Course, he sees 'imself as an authority on curry, he does, on account of where he was stationed in the army. Rudge: Where? India? Fletcher: No, Bradford.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_40413.jpg



There is an absolute spiffer in the boardroom at HQ of St John. Anyone any idea of who it's by? And as the fella off Little Britain would say " I want one"!

I recently read John Holmes' book after never really knowing anything about him before. Safe to say I, like others, thought it was a superb read, and that my fellow commuters were giving me some funny looks after I was nearly in tears during the final chapter icon_lol.gif

There is a very particular skill to portrait painting and that artist has it.

Not sure of the artist's name, but apparently he is a friend of Gary Moorby, John's old team mate in the 80's.

As for the statue I think that his family would favour something like the picture on the front cover of the book. Hopefully the statue will stand on the concourse of the proposed new South Stand and will be a fitting tribute to the club's greatest ever servant.

Sinfield definately his career hopefully has a long way to go but when it does he too will have a permant tribute.Its so sad that it has to be John Holmes death before he gets his club tribute
