Met him at the Ashton Gate 8 presentation / celebration yonks ago (2007?) back in the old Dolman that he compered. I didn’t know a great deal about the situation back then as it was well before my time (hence me wanting to go and learn). JP was fantastic in explaining and celebrating the acts of those men on stage and off stage we met and had a chat and he couldn’t have been nicer. Also I just love how he gets something City related in all his co - such a dude! Enjoy the event - literally around the corner from me but I’ll be working sadly - would’ve liked to attend.

NSFF Posted November 13, 2023 Report Share Posted November 13, 2023 He’s a top fella from when he used to do the sky phone in after the match on a Sunday to radio 5 now and huge city fan be worth a visit that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleepy1968 Posted November 13, 2023 Report Share Posted November 13, 2023 It's a bit ironic that for all the City games he used to attend when he was a youngster, even if he was basically 'the cameraman's assistant', I don't think he's attended more than a few (maybe none, but I'd hope not) City games in years due to work commitments. I would still class him as 100% Bristol City nevertheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveInSA Posted November 13, 2023 Report Share Posted November 13, 2023 I met JP at a mate's house in South Africa during the world cup in 2010 - he was based in Cape Town at the time and wasn't scheduled to commentate, so had the afternoon off and came down to see my mate. I seem to recall we watched the England vs Germany game. Possibly the biggest disappointment of all time. and strangely he didn't commentate at all during the match A genuinely top bloke who knows loads about the game. He had a couple of beers was totally down to earth and was pleased to meet a fellow fan; albeit an exiled one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjak Posted November 13, 2023 Report Share Posted November 13, 2023 J P is a total legend..........and IMO the Best commentator ever. I dream about the day he commentates on a CITY Prem match? Probably be pushing up daisies by the time that comes around......Ha!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS15_RED Posted November 13, 2023 Report Share Posted November 13, 2023 (edited) I met him at a dinner for Gerry Gow at the Marriott Royal back in 2011, had a chat, lovely guy. My mate was also sat near him at Gerry’s funeral, said he sobbed his heart out. Edited November 13, 2023 by BS15_RED Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
