You've stolen my washing
From out my back garden
You've tarmacked my driveway
Even though I said no
You've nicked my lead flashing
And weighed it in at the scrappy
Oh St Helen's tatters
Come rob me again:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_25852.jpg |

Was he really Mrs Farrell?

All seriousness he was a top bloke. Micky Forshaw was another good bloke as was Terry O'Connor.
Biggest t*ts I remember calling into my workplace(a sportswear firm) were Lee Briers and at the time Leigh coach Darren Abram(seemed a proper arrogant pillock tbh).

After Quins' home games the players of both sides, as well as the referees, walk across the pitch and mingle with waiting fans. I have yet to witness anyone acting arrogantly and ignoring the fans.
Once when I was wearing my Bulls shirt (although Bulls weren't the visitors), a very proud Henry and Robbie Paul's mother introduced herself to me and was a lovely lady.

Not just me then!
He'd swan into the place like he was your boss and just demand you get him things.

Biggest idiot I've ever encountered in a rugby league context was David Solomona during the GB v NZ test at Knowsley Road about 4 years ago.
He'd just come off after a stint, and as he sat down on the bench, a couple of teenage girls a few steps away from the bench started whooping and hollering their support, while some bloke further back shouted 'tit' (or something to that effect).
Solomona immediately turned on the two teenage girls and screamed "come here and say that to my face then, you b******". They were petrified, as you might imagine!

Met Todd Byrne a couple of seasons ago (as well as a few other Hull players). He was a right friendly guy, we had a laugh.

Vainokolo is another, remember after a game at Odsal a group of kids jumped him when he came out of the stand towards the players lounge and he was giving em high 5's & passing their rugby ball with them for a bit.

Most of the ones I've met here have been very nice. I was in a business meeting with ET some years ago, and he's a very quiet guy and was a bit embarrassed when I brought up having watched him play for Leeds.
I've met most of the Broncos at one forum or another and they seem like good guys for the most part. Oddly I've met far more Broncos players than I ever did Leeds players.
Its sad that the vast majority of players get their reputations tarnished by a minority of idiots, but that seems to always be the way when you look at any group of young men.

Stanley Gene, Makaili Aizue, Geroge Fairburn, Justin Morgan, always have time to talk, stop for a pciture with the kids etc. Also Richard Gay and Steve Hampson.
Peter Sterling once had a go at me when I was about 10 for interupting him to ask for an autograph whilst he was in the middle of eating a hotdog, but I suppose I deserved it.

[quote="The Reason":3e09qe5x]Hi Andy
The Rugby Football League are in the process of reviewing the video that you are referring to. We do not condone behaviour of this nature and have contacted the player’s employer, Hull F.C., who have confirmed that they are dealing with the incident under their club rules.

The funniest sportsperson i met was Razor Ruddock in an irish pub in manchester, he sat with me and my mates, he had just done a sportsmans dinner got a wad of cash for it, then he bought me and my mates a few round of drinks. the guy is a legend!!!!!'"
I hope you didn't put anything in his pocket!  |

Agreed, top bloke.
Adam Watene is another who always had time. |

He chose the name of a cross dressing Austalian institutions other persona.....and is your typical Aussie w@nker living in London whilst he tries to get some culture by visiting Prague to get pi55ed on Cheap Star, getting a fondle from a dodgy hooker in amsterdam and eating a snail for a bet when in paris. All of these things will make him a cultural icon when his visa runs out and he is sent the way of his great grandparents....alas, not in chains this time.[/quote:2v2cei1t]

I'll bet he was embarrassed when you reminded him he played for Leeds.
Chris McKenna said exactly the same. Money talks though I guess.
Why is it 'odd' you claim to have met far more Broncos players than Leeds ones when you claim to live '10 mins walk from Suncorp'???
What players do you think it would be more likely you would meet?
