As written up in AKUTRs by yours truly, Martyn 'Buzzer' Busby ended up randomly painting my flat in Crouch End in the late 1990s.
Anyone better that? |  |

Can’t beat that Mr Elbow however.
Refereed a game in North Harrow, probably at Kodaks, coached by the great Tony (never recall seeing him make a save copyright) Roberts.
Never uttered a single syllable in acknowledgement of my existence other then to bereft my somewhat laboured skills in officiating. He knew I was Rangers as well as we’d spoken a few times in Ruislip Manor. He was into selling time shares in Florida. |  | | |

Part 2
As a family we used to go to Hurley and park up on the Thames on sundays. I was very young and remember my Dad talking to a guy parked next to us called Tony Hazel. I think he had a maroon coloured car. They chatted for ages. Got to know his son quite well later on as he was the manager of goals in Hayes. | | | |

My Dad has a semi retirement job delivering lease cars around the country (and picking up old ones in return).
He came across Adam Miller in Essex about 6 months ago. Said this guy was a proper cocky salesman type, saw my Dad wearing a QPR jacket and gave it the big one about how he used to play for QPR. My Dad, being my Dad, had forgotten all about him and thought he was a big bullsh*tting type until he got home and looked him up. |  | | |

Is that Andy? He also played quite a few games for ASB. |  |

Refereed Mickey Walsh playing for Hungerford Vets at Hanworth Villa, Jimmy Quinn was upfront, was absolutely gutted as Macca used to play for them but he was unavailable that day. |  |

I met Clint hill queuing up in the Tower of London soon after Redknapp was sacked. He was on his own and happy to chat, my ex wife and eldest daughter didn’t have a clue but made my day | | | |

Switched Monday night sevens league to Paradise Park in Finsbury Park a couple of years back.
Got our absolute ars handed to us in our first game, like 10-0 or something daft, and we're not a bad side (albeit getting on in years).
Oppo had quite a handy striker... Hogan Ephraim.
Still have to play against him twice a season but luckily I've done enough to occasionally be asked to fill in for his team when their keeper is away, so I get to be on the fun side of the thrashings every now and again.
Nice lad. |  | | |

Hogan posts on X a fair bit (or did) Always seems pretty swirched on.
He left us when he 26/27 years old and has then never really played consistently anywhere since. Seems a waste of a decent footballer.
I assume he made enough money in his 4 year contract with us to last him a lifetime! | | | |

He's said before in interviews that he lost his love of the game, didnt get much satisfaction playing in League 2 watching the ball fly over his head for 90 minutes, so just gave up.
Fair play in a sense as I'm sure he could have earned a decent living in football still. | | | |

12 or so years ago Junior Iz was attending a holiday goalkeeping camp in Wanstead, under a qpr coach, Martin Something - very nice bloke from Middlesbrough. The camp was attached to a school run by Peter Hucker himself.
Somehow they fell out. And Pete stopped accommodating the goalkeepers... |  | | |
