WTFiGO!?! Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 Tickled my humour and very heart warming film. Best para-quotes from memory: Nello's Mum: "Who was that?". Nello: "That's a very good friend of mine". Nello's Mum: "You've never mentioned him" Nello: "Why would I have? I only met him yesterday". Lady at the job centre: "What job would you like to do?". Nello: "Manage Stoke City. I don't mind if I have to manage someone else but I will have to draw the line at Port Vale". Lou Macarie: "How do you always manage to remain so positive?". Nello: "Well I know we're all going to die one day, so until then I've just decided to be happy". On Neil Baldwin FC.... Nello: "I'm gonna be captain and manager, Gary Lineker's gonna be chairman". Nello's Mum: "Really, has he agreed to that then?" Nello: "I'm just writing to tell him now". "Marvellous". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red-Robbo Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 Very much a legendary character; persuaded a Manchester-born and Croydon-born friends of mine to follow Stoke, when they were both at Keele. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin phantom Posted December 12, 2014 Admin Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 Never heard of this story before, but Toby Jones was a great actor in the recent series The Detectorists. Have a long and boring teleconference this morning, this film will come in handy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SC&T Board Members Blagdon red Posted December 12, 2014 SC&T Board Members Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 Agree this is a wonderful film. Just as a side note for interest: Neil's friend Malcolm (Clarke) is now chairman of the Football Supporters Federation (and still a regular at Stoke games).
