In amazing spirits and really friendly, plus consumed an enormous amount of alcohol. Great stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

glory.win or die. 272 Posted March 18, 2022 I went to.the John O'Neil testimonial I remembered Gary Lineker but I also vaguely recall Lee Chapman and Lesley Ash being there. Also remember the night Fashanu ruined his knee, I think Robert Fleck may also have made is debut in that match? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
