ex footballers gone wrong

[wittonwarrior]

ever seen any up to date photos of Kenny TR7 Burns the fat t=== - never liked the man

[Mister E]

Met Brendan Ormsby after a Leeds vs Villa game; a postie.

Seeing how David White has 'matured' I wonder what the hell must Nigel Callaghan look like?


Edit - having just googled him, he's large.
He's unfortunately also grappling with cancer, sad to report.

His son used to bet in a bookies I managed a few years back and seemed an okay bloke. I never knew his proper name as everyone just called him 'Burnsy'.

Didn't Kenny Burns do a shit once in someone's house from this board? or did I dream that?

Why on earth would you dream that?!

That rings a bell from a while back. There is a fair chance his son did one in my shop at some point. Now we just need someone who knew his wife to claim the full shithouse set.

I was really excited when we signed Nigel Callaghan. He'd always looked really good when Derby had been on telly.

[Damo70]

I don't remember Derby being on telly much around that time but I can remember a Notts County v Watford game on MOTD that finished about  6-7 with Barnes and Callaghan both scoring a few and setting up few.

Admittedly the mists of time have probably made me exaggerate my memories but it was a fairly high scoring game and they both excelled on their respective wings.


Just checked and it's on Youtube. Feb 1984, Notts County 3 Watford 5.

It was my mate's parents' house in Nottingham years ago.

His parents had their house for sale. One day, couple come to view it, Mr and Mrs Kenny Burns. While he was there, Burns asked if he could use the toilet. Which he did.

Shortly after he'd gone, my mate went to use said toilet. Said it stank like a decomposing rat, and the filthy bastard had pebbledashed it, no attempt to tidy up after himself.

Apologies to long term readers, I've definitely related that story here before a few times.

A few years later, my parents were selling their house. One of the viewers was Ray Ranson. He didn't buy it, but at least he had the courtesy not to foul the facilities.

Totally off-topic but, that story of Burns allegedly shitting where he shouldn't reminded me that, that happened at the last place I worked back home.  Sometime, over one weekend, somebody took it upon himself to shit in the desk drawer of the works manager.  Whatever possessed him to do it I'll never know or understand.  As you would imagine, when the story broke on the Monday morning; much hilarity and merriment ensued.  For the rest of my time there I, or anyone else found out who the phantom turd layer was.

Sorry about what Niger Callan hand is fighting but I can tell you the bloke was the world's biggest wander.  He used to come and train with my Sunday league side whilst lodging with one of my team mates not long after signing for us. I say lodge but I don't think the turd actually stuck his hand in his pocket.
My team mate was a massive SHA fan and during team building drinking sessions said fat failed DJ used to happily serade us with Graham Taylor what a wanker what a wanker whilst walking up George Street in Tamworth.This was before he used to spin the wheels of steel in the George.

I have a similar story. Friend of mine on a golf outing played 18 holes in the morning, had lunch in the clubhouse, and when he returned to his golf bag for another 18 in the afternoon found that someone had taken a dump in it (the ball pocket to be precise). Most peculiar.

The Holte End phantom pharter in the mid 00s was revealed as erstwhile poster Chris (f)Harte if I remember rightly.

Much depends on the time frame when you assess whether a footballer has gone wrong. The best player I have ever seen was John Charles and the crock of gold at the end of his rainbow was the tenancy of a pub, in Leeds I think. That in turn led to excessive drinking and the all too familiar sad end. However, that was considered to be a well planned exit from the game in the not so distant past. Players with less generous clubs got a newsagents.

Anyone remember Craystons newsagents in Blackwood Road, Streetly. Arsenal and England.

Oh yes! Many pennies worth of pocket money wasted in that shop!

It seemed every shop I used to go in as a kid my dad would tell me it was owned by an ex-Villa player. I can't remember them all now but Billy Kirton had one on the College Road, and there was a chippy round there owned by an ex player too and I'm sure someone had a shop on Kingstanding circle. Then whenever we were it town we'd always spend time in Harry Parkes' sports shop on corporation Street - with a cricket bat as a door handle and all old Villa team photos hanging on the walls.
I remember reading in Joe Mercer's biography that after transferring from Everton to Arsenal they allowed him to stay on Merseyside and train with Liverpool during the week so he could work in his grocers shop after training, then get a train to London on the Friday for the game. He was captain of England at the time!
