Slave to the rhythm Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 Don't know if anybody has just listened to Mark Watson on Radio 5 Live's Fighting Talk? He's such a top man. He must have mentioned City about a dozen times. Among the highlights were the fact that his fantasy football team are called "Steve Coppell ruined my life", he nominated Coppell as being the biggest psycho in sport because "he walked out on the biggest job in sport after just two games", and he asked for the points he gained on the show to be donated to BCFC. Robbie Savage was also on the show and was not remotely funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralphindevon Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 Yes I heard it, top bloke and very funny. I don't think he will be forging Coppell any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinman-is-god Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 Is he a city fan then???? He's proper welsh but just seen on his wikipedia page that he was born in Bristol... I think he has links with Wales but exaggerates the Welsh accent in his shows because he thinks it sounds funnier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TinnionForEngland Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 I echo the previous comments, such a funny comedian and from my brother who went to BGS as a youngster, a genuinely nice bloke. Also does a fair bit of charity work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Steve Coppell ruined my life' should be the name of a football support group for the depressed and bitter football fans damaged by his actions!

LondonRed Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 I worked with him a couple of years ago and was in the year below him at school (although we were only friends of friends) A very likeable bloke who is very knowledgeable about city and gets to as many games as he can. Very down to earth and humble.. makes a refreshing change from most "celebs" that i've had the misfortune of working with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
