Celebrity Fans. What's The Point?

[Nev]

Ayia Napa in '98, the likes of Sharpe, Ferdinand and other wasters were in the same bar as us and we got talking. My mate (as non confrontational a person as you could meet) went up to Sharpe and engaged him in conversation, including the fact that he was a Villa fan, something that he confirmed. Then the conversation went something like this:

"You didn't really want to celebrate like that at Villa Park did you?"

"I did, I enjoyed it mate"

Now nose to nose - "Then you are a right ****** then aren't you?" and my mate walked off.

It was undoubtedly the drink talking but I still put it down as fair comment.

I remember in 1989 I was seeing a girl from Halesowen and we went camping with her family, Lee Sharpe's then girlfriend was amongst the family friends that were there, Lee was meant to turn up but did not (he was probably partying in Manchester)

Why? He was employed by Manchester United, of course he was going to be pleased to score for them. Even more so as, as I recall, he was far from guaranteed his first team place. Your mate sounds like the ****** there, to be honest.

Perhaps, but you are bringing reason and balance into the argument at the expense of blind partisanship and bitterness.

Fair enough. I prefer to leave my bitterness in the stadium and, maybe, from behind the safety of a keyboard. If a bloke is on holiday, I'm happy to leave him in peace.

Wasn't Sharpe often linked with a move to us during the mid-90s?

In his prime he was quality.  Shame he never played for us.

I think he said he wanted to but Ellis wouldn't stump up the cash when he moved to Leeds. I can't recall if he was still any good while he was at Leeds or if that was a bullet dodged.

He was injured a lot and left on a free if memory serves.

Lee Sharpe was crap once he left United. He was poor for Leeds and even worse at Bradford. He ended up at Kidderminster and then Garforth.

[Dick Edwards]

Lee Sharpe was massively overrated. No better than El Ghazi.

[dcdavecollett]

FergieB used to reckon that Sharpe could have been the best left-back in the world, but he was a twat to himself.

He (Lee Sharpe) also Treated Jane Middlemiss very badly in Love Island back in 2005

Just saying

[Tayls_7]

What did he do? Spell her name wrong?

Top Jayne Middlemiss knowledge there.
