  1. I saw him play in the Celtic vs BG game. BG won 3-1 and were surprisingly good. Keeper was unspectacular, and not overly memorable. Just as I like them…. ?
  2. Of those I've seen first hand, Messi and Modric were / are exceptional at that - plus very short bursts from that space, creating goals...
  3. Didier Deschamps - ‘The Water Carrier’
  4. Agreed, but a huge punt. A CFO who has worked with Premier League and Championship sides once told me that 'unless you are happy to burn £15m per annum of your own money, stay away from Championship clubs'... Seems reasonable....
  5. Saw both U2 and Simple Minds in concert in 1985. Still can't decide who was better. Actually, I think Big Country were ?
  6. The first time I played there Will, it was blowing a gale and OOB right was definitely in play.... Solid driver, then good 8 iron just over the burn.... For perspective, we drove the 18th... The second time I played it, I dinked a 3 iron down there, then chipped over the Swilcan Burn from about 5 yards short of it.... Crazy place. Maurice Flitcroft - my favourite pub quiz question ? I have read the book, and a shame they didn't mention his calamitous high diving act at holiday camps when he was young - more Eddie the Eagle than Seve.... ?
  7. I played a lot at Sodding Chipbury in BDGL during the late 80's, early 90's. Think we had a League Finals day there one year? Sounds a similar story - had the same assistant offers at Worlebury & WSMGC, but realised I wasn't a good enough player so decided to play for fun.... I'm still mates with Scott Readman, who worked with Terry Mercer at some point - do you know him? Member at Burnham for some 20 odd years, and still have a bit of involvement with Somerset Golf (Over 35's). Youngest daughter is playing now though, so that keeps me interested now she's starting to hit it past me!
  8. It may be wide, but you definitely start thinking about it..... ? I had an 8ft putt for birdie on 17, never tried so hard on a putt in all my life, and left it 2 inches short..... ? Where do you play spudski? Did you ever play Bristol & District / County? I've not played Troon yet but I'm at Royal Birkdale at the end of the month.....
  9. I've played to an ok standard over many years, playing a fair amount of competitive golf. I can tell you I have never been as nervous as I have been on that first tee..... Shaking so much, I struggled to get the ball on the tee! ?
  10. Hate to say it, but I think an American is likely to win, with a very low score... Has anybody on this forum played at St Andrews? I've been very lucky......?
  11. Bristol vs Exeter rugby was the last visit, Hull game before that. Can be arsed ??
  12. Saw him in Bristol about 15 years ago. Had to wake the wife up half way through the concert…..
