Just thought I would relay back my meeting with the great man on saturday @Panacea nightclub, the norths version of a members only club, think, chinawhites but with more page 3 trash and, I kid you not, bangers and mash on the menu.
I remember reading an interview with Savage saying that he didnt speak to the wife the night after a defeat, this didnt seem to be in evidence on saturday in fact he was positively beaming. His first words to me when I told him I was an albion fan were "what the fook are you doing up 'ere" .. it took him a while to realise I went to the match
I asked what the hell happened in the leeds game, his response, "It's not maaa fault YOUR defence is shit!!" - at least he's honest I suppose. My comment that Colin Hawkins is a carthorse raised a wry smile as well.
All in all, a fairly nice bloke, clearly has no affinity with the club, felt a bit sorry for him as it seems he gets quite a lot of random abuse from the general public, but judging by saturdays performance from him, Im not sure he'll be in the public eye much longer, I think his legs have gone; wouldn't be suprised if this is his last season in the professional game.
