"Eh.." I knew you didnt consider Hignett to be a big name, I was agreeing with you, just pointing out that there'll be others. Ok?. Anyhow if you're being sarcastic to us simple folk in future you just go :rolleyes: . It'll remove any doubt.

I remember back in the day when Lee Sharpe was on the cover on Match magazine every single week. Then came along a young lad called Ryan.... Surely Eric Cantona would love to grace the Flansiro? Id love to see him do a kung fu job on Massop 10 if he gives him a bit of stick on the terraces. ;)Quote:

anyway the legends will take one look around Blue and be off like a shot to a classier venue like Visions !!!!
He wouldn't have the balls to kung-fu me :D I'd take him anyday !!
I'd be surprised if Eric could jump these days never kind do a kung-fu kick. Im sure you're well able for him Massop 10. :)Quote:

So then, many heading to this? Shall make the treck up have my team of huskies and my sled at the ready.. is it 20euro in?
Read in a dodgy gossip mag (belonging to my sister before you ask, there was nothing else to read....) that Lee Sharpe has broken up with his 'squeeze' Emma Gardener. So that means Sharpey is holding out for a Longford lass. You heard it here first.
Admission is the same as normal (15 euro for adults) *. The cause isn't helped by the fact that a Liverpool Legends team are playing a Finn Harps Legends team in Ballybofey on Saturday as well. The after match dinner in PV's is sold out however.
* Btw I hope the club are planning on reducing admission charges for next season. 10 euro is enough for adult prices to have to watch/endure what we've seen this season.
Yup ill be there. Im morbidly looking forward to the amount of Longford locals who will turn up in Man Utd & Liverpool gear with their young families dressed the same. I tell ya it could be a sickening sight. If they do then they are monkeys.
Will there be any bunting set up for the occasion outside or inside the ground?
Not sure about bunting but apparently there will a statue of Lee Sharp carved entirely out of teak on offer...Quote:

Apparently Shannonside and the club are running/going to run a competition allowing the winner or their nominee to play with the Legends for 30 minutes. So if you've always wanted to show up Lee Sharpe or Craig Hignett now's your chance!. A few old school Town players coming down as well apparently.Quote:

To Lee Sharpe:
Tune: Glory, Glory Halleluia
'We all slept with Abi Titmuss, we all slept with Abi Titmuss'
Absolute quality! I knew Teak would get involved. Thats it, the way I want to die is in a teak crafted type of Wicker man scenario, except its not a Wicker Man its a Teak Marty Stapo. You can have me blazing away in it in the centre circle of the Flansiro the day the Town win the League.Quote:

nice to see my name used in vain salmon coloured...;)Quote:

Maybe we could have Pascal playing 'Yippee I O' for the umpteenth time as background music.
More names added. Lee Martin is a blast from the past and watch out for David May (Superstar, got more medals than Shearer) trying to get into every photograph like he did in Barcelona. Looking forward to this now after the win tonight.
http://www.ltfc.ie/news/article/?id=...e-3a2d653fffb3
Edit: Seems David May is no longer mentioned.
I'm still hoping they manage to drag Neil Ruddock over :)
The Ryanair charges might be prohibitive. We'd have to ship him over.
So there is 9 of them?! No lee sharpe?! wtf are we gona do with the 20 foot high teak statue?!Quote:
Line up confirmed for Legends Game
Today, 4:54PM
The team consist of former Irish Intrnationals Gary Kelly, Curtis Fleming and Liam O'Brien. O'Briens former teammate at Newcastle Kevin Scott looks to be a first choice central defender.
Man Utd FA Cup hero from 1990 Lee Martin is also in the travelling squad, Martin is best remembered for his winning goal for Utd. in the 1990 Cup Final versus Crystal Palace.After leaving Man Utd he moved to Celtic. Paul Dalton is a Utd player from the same era, from Utd he moved to Hartlepool to build a very sucessful career.
Northern Ireland and Middlesborough are represented by Terry Cochrane, Terry will long be remember for his goal against England which help Northern Ireland win the Home Nations Championship.
John Hendrie had a long career in top flight football and is still held in high esteem from his playing days with Leeds, Newcastle and 'Boro.
And finally the man who helped assemble the squad is Middlesboro and Blackburn star Craig Hignett.
There must be a couple more coming I'd say, they're not going to play with nine surely?. Sharpe must have got word of the "tribute" to him and gotten scared.
I see no mention of David May, I was using him as a major selling point to drag a few along ;)
Somebody must have jumped the gun on that one, it was up last night that he and Martin were coming. I'm sure his legions of adoring fans will be crushed. Looks like a few who had promised Hignett they'd do it have pulled out. Obviously not enough money in it for them. Still at least there's a few names people will know. Some Town legends to make guest appearances too I think.
Where did Steve bloody Howie go? Thought he was coming? This isnt the Premiership Legends its Mid Life crisis Athletic over for a couple of days of golf. I see some tickets have been "Returned" for the dinner. Could we get some clarification if the dinner has been moved to Luigis?
I'd say there's not many tickets remaining. It was actually sold out during the week. Obviously some "stars" decided it wasn't worth their while for the small beans they were getting. Oh well should be a bit of craic anyway.
I hope theres a big fight at the game.Would make for an interesting few minutes when the soups being served. Any sign of Dennis Irwin or Gary Pallister?
No they got caught in a wife swapping sting operation by the News Of The World so understandably have more things on their mind.*
*The above sentence has absolutely no basis in fact and is in no way intended to sully the reputations of Messrs. Pallister & Irwin or their wives.
In all seriousness, Pallister's wife is ill I believe and Irwin probably doesn't love Craig Hignett enough.
it was a very competitive game tonight and the town won 4-2 after going 2-0 down.. Douglas with two. darren mckenna and a andy bermingham screamer.. very disappointin crowd.. the highlight of the nite was sectionoite and foot.ies own massop 10 coming on as sub .. he had two chances to score and didnt score.. that will shut u up for a while eh??;)
great to see maccer play for us again with vinny perth again -a bit like old times!! counted only seven-eight of the premiership legends were premiership legends.. wot happened to the rest???:confused:
what were the teams?
Before I defend myself (make excuses) I want to thank the club for giving me the great oppertunity to play tonight because anyone who is close to me knows how hard the last 18 months has been for me so to be able to walk out at an event like that with them 2 teams of legends was realy something that i will never forget and i want to thank the Legends for been so good to me before and after the game.
Now I have to say that the first was a BAD miss although it didn't miss by much but i couldn't score the second chance cos it would be cheating. Ah crap ok i fluffed my shot :( Marty I'll still be the same don't worry :D
We were only having a slaggin, would have been the same if any of us had got out there. I personally would have had a minor stroke, running! Was a shame the turn out. The legengds still have that vital touch, I think they just got tired in the end!Quote:

To some ******* going a mile out of their way is too much. Yet these same people will bitch about how bad everything is with us.
