Andrea Orlandi - what a gent (and a beautiful man)

[Barrel of Fun]

Seeing Calde and Andrea sunning themselves (topless) on Hove beach in striped deckchairs was the highlight of my summer last year. This is very sad news.

After watching that I now officially hate Burke and Jones.

OH FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY

I thought I had got past the sadness, but there it is again.

I can only think now of Calde driving to the stadium on his own...

...With a little pic. of Orlandi taped to his dashboard that he keeps glancing at wistfully for the memories, must stop I'm filling up.

I'm sure with FAN POWER we can bring him back. Hell, we did it with Lopez.

...I have had a brilliant idea that came to me whilst munching on my Special K (Lidl ob variety) earlier, and there is a sort of precedent for this!

We have/had an official club poet so why not appoint an official club philosopher. Why not re-employ him in this role?

Picture the scene. Matchday day at a packed Amex. Fanzone over, the crowd wait in anticipation for Sussex by the Sea and their heroes to march out. But before then a hush falls over the stadium, Orlandi strides to the centre circle, looking cool as ever, pauses, surveys the crowd, and utters into the mike in his perfect yet cooly accented voice - "...Procrastination is the thief of time" or some similar wise thought. Crowd goes wild, team march out and win. Simples.

How about 'Executive Inspiration Provider' as a job title?

 

[Sandradee]

Cool title for a cool man.... Email Mr Burke !!!!!!

 

[Parson Henry]

I know a guy who’s just been released
Skill's so fine, he can't be beat
he's got everything that we desire
Sets the Amex pitch on fire

I want Andy
Andrea Orlandi
I want Andy
Andrea Orlandi….

...Who did you headbutt though?

 

[Greg Bobkin]

We could give him Richard Reynolds job! That could work...

Isn't there an opening for a host in one of the lounges? Recently vacated by an ex-player

Spanish Dave has a strange look on his face next to El Pres.

Kind of like he's being violated.
