Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[john e]

I met Michael Elphick once back in the 80's at Truckfest when I was working for Scania
He was a guest on the local radio show that went out live from our show trailer

Pissed out of his head he was

He used to live at the Holiday Inn in town when filming Boon back in the 80s and he was constantly pissed. God knows how he got through filming.

In fairness I think it did for the poor fella in the end

I bumped into him in the pub opposite the Hippodrome in the early 90s. I smiled and said "hi" before I realised I only recognised him off the telly. He smiled back and nodded, and carried on his way. I bet celebs get that all the time.

Another thread ruined.

He was in an episode of Auf Weidersein Pet as well, I think Oz ended up chinning him.

Still, the elephant man had it coming to him.

[Malandro]

He played the poacher in Withnail & I.

I think the lack of anything happening along with the mini heatwave is sending forum posters in here a bit funny. Are there any threads left still talking about the subject matter in the title thread?

I think he played a character named McGowan in one of the early ones. Oz was pissed off because he nicked the dartboard.

in other news the Queen is celebrating her 90th birthday for the third time this year.

My cousins are st holders at Bournemouth and just sent texts saying they have good authority that Tommy Elphick coming to us as club captain !? They showed me screen shot from text convos from the players family at a wedding as one of them is close friend..... Surprise for me.... Any rumours of this from the villa side ?

[DBTW]

Elphick 100% signing, from the horses mouth, so to speak

[Monty]

Now, I know I don't keep up with all the world's football as well as I used to, but what exactly is Tommy Elphick?

That's some Private Eye work of the quality of Boon to break the Elphick story

Central defender, started last season pretty well but got an injury in the autumn and was out for a while then couldn't get back into the team. I think.
