Just shook hands with Eddie Gray!

[borebage53]

... in a bar in Leeds City centre. Legend. I'm gobsmacked!

 

[perdix]

Did you mention the goal against Burnley?

 

[borebage53]

I always thought that Eddie Gray was the best footballer they had in that team. Not so much of the associated skulduggery either!

 

[snootyfox]

Did he have a blue RL shirt on?

 

[borebage53]

Did he have a blue RL shirt on?

No he looked as fit as fuck for a man his age. Far better than me!

 

[kpbw]

Have you checked to see if you've still got your watch Chris?

 

[oxonfox]

You sure he still got a pulse? I thought he passed away?

 

[LGFOX]

Did he show you the scars on the back of his calves from the 1970 final!

 

[borebage53]

A reverential hush descended on the room before he got mobbed!

 

[borebage53]

I told the deluded 'congregation' that I'd seen John Charles and Albert Johannesson play for Leeds and all of them hadn't. How to shut the fuckers up with one simple statement of fact!

You sure it was Eddie Gray and not some drunk pensioner taking the piss?

I was the only drunk pensioner in the place. Eddie just worked the room like a star. I believe it's called "prescence"!
