Sir Brian of Littlehampton
« on: May 24, 2011, 01:08:58 PM »
Just a heads up to anyone who can listen on Thursday, our hero Brian Little, who walks upon the water, will be chatting to his former strike partner Andy Gray on the Keys n' Gray show at 10am on Talk Sport.
Should be good.

Thanks for the info Oscar,  and most assuredly I will be braving the echo chamber,  amplified adverts for commercial vans and wholesale building materials to tune in and listen to the great man.

I must point out however, that Littlehampton is ghastly. Quite ghastly.

Andy Gray has always said Brian Little was the best strike partner he ever had, ahead of Graeme Sharp and John Richards.

I know not many people like him on here for whatever reason, but I've always found Gray very entertaining and knowledgable, apart from being one of my early Villa heroes. The great Brian Little was his best striking partner, and he owes nearly all of his success to him...just a sneak preview of what he'll be saying on Thursday !

simply the greatest natural talent of his era in my humble opinion. His one cap simply sums up how biased to the 'big clubs' they were in those days and indeed today.

Brian very kindly gave the trophies out at my junior football teams presentation evening on saturday.

He was an absolute gentleman, and said a few words at the start of the evening - about how important it was for the boys to practice, work hard and listen to the coaches for them to progress.

He then passed the microphone to me to make a speech about my teams season  - I think I held it together !!

My Son received the most improved player award, presented by Brian - unless we can persuade Paul McGrath in the future it will never get any better than that.

Just magic.

He can't have been in a partnership that produced more goals that he and Little did in 1977.

Brian Little on Talksport Thursay morning.

Apologies if this has been posted somewhere else. But i caught Andy Gray saying today that Sir Brian will be in the studio on their show on thursday morning between 10 and 1pm.

It'll be the only reason to listen to that crap,though i've heard Gray speak very highly of Brian,saying that he owes alot of his earlier sucess in England to the great man.
