I was more worried about him wrapping himself round a tree :ohmy:

Speaking of which, I wonder if Solly has taken the 911 out for a test drive yet?

Ooooh, a Vauxhall Cavalier, lovely stuff :thumbsup:

Yep, I remember that too.

I guess Chris Eubank didn't need a car dealer name on the side of his motors to let people know he was in it... I remember seeing one of the All Blacks hooning down the M6 in a sponsored car with his name on years ago. I don't think he was lost. I think he was playing for an English egg chasing...

I imagine he enjoyed that game almost as much as Trevor Morley of West Ham did when he made his playing return after being stabbed in a domestic incident. To be greeted by North Stand renditions of "There's only one Mrs Morley". :D

:lolol: It sounds like it was actually some sort of club tour (I had imagined he'd just responded to Gotsmanov's invitation for a little holiday in the USSR). I asked him if John Crumplin Football Genius went, and he said not only did he go, but he scored in a 1-1 draw in the Dynamo Minsk...

I remember as a kid, walking around the Goldstone, and occasionally you'd see some car with- say- Steve Penney, sponsored by Dave's Autos of South Street Lancing, or Doug Rougvie Drives A Simpson's Nissan written all over the side. Famously, Sergei Gotsmanov got sponsored by a local Lada dealer...
