Dr Zeuss 0 Posted May 12, 2016 A fan who sits near the directors box is adamant that Paul Lambert was sitting near Delia for the Watford game. I had no reason to doubt him but would have thought by now the story would have made it onto social media or EDP/Pinkun at very least. Especially as there seemed to be an exceptionally large number of telephoto lenses pointing in that direction just before kick off.Anyone else aware of this?

The infamous SS crew cut has grown back a bit sharpish if it is. I''ll tell him on Monday night you think he looks like Lambert. As a fan of a certain other Midlands club that will cheer him up no end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So it is not really possible to see why a fan would think it was him, even if they did think there was someone there who looked like him. He wears similar glasses to those that Lambert used to wear and because of that some fan thinks Lambert was in the director''s box! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
