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


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?

I remember. Kenny was viewing their house with a view to buy and unloaded in their toilet in a most uncomplimentary manner. I'd imagine it would have the same consistency and aroma as that of a hippo.

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

Hmmmmm

"I had a brilliant time being a footballer – I played for two great teams, Derby County and Watford, with great supporters.

Well fuck-off then.

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!

Kingstanding Circle (opposite the snooker hall and police station) was Bruce Rioch's shop. Plumber's merchant. Chico Hamilton had a boutique in Mere Green.

Useless waster in a Villa shirt. Remember when Platt tried to strangle him when a half hearted Callaghan gave up during a game. Pity he didn't finish him off.

When I started my first job after graduating, one of my colleagues had been captain of the Hertfordshire schools county side that, as he put, it Nigel just about made the sub's bench. He thought at 15 he was a prize twat.

Said colleague had been a good prospect, captain of QPR youth team until he broke his leg twice in quick succession and that was the end of that.  He went off and started work at the Datsun dealer in Watford, whilst Callaghan made his way with the town's football team.  As soon as he got into the first team, he was in the garage putting down the deposit on a Datsun 240z and signing the HP agreement.  Unfortunately the simple matter of making the repayments was beyond Nige, so my colleague got the job of going to the training ground and repossessing the car. He said it gave him immeasurable pleasure!

Peter, I don't know for sure but, I would take a guess that the newsagent's shop was one belonging to Barry Hole.
