Anybody see Nick Lesson playing for Man City in the Premier League All Stars on SKy 1 last night. He played quite well even set up a goal for Nicky Summerbee.

Great eye for a pass, Tony should ask him does he fancy a game for us

Only saw the end of it. He was out on his feet, i thought they were going to have to carry him off.

Seen him, he played quite well. I thought it was bit mad wearing his glasses though!! He should have broke the bank and brought some contact lenses

Was he classified as a celeberity?

**Risteard** · 24/09/2007, 7:05 PM

Yes.
Obvious gags used by the commentator aswell.

Nick Leeson was interviewed on RTE Radio One last Monday 1st October.
Click on archive section of http://www.rte.ie/radio1/thetubridyshow/ and listen to MODAY's show (about 5 minutes in)

You can't buy publicity like this (not that Ryan Tubridy was ever in a League of Ireland ground)

Excellent interview. Well worth taking 20mins out to listen to it.

After the "Shock"-Gen scandal, Nick is getting a lot of press again due to the similarities to the Baring story. Galway United is appearing in Google News Alerts from a lot of papers around the globe:

In fact I'm pretty sure it's gonna be mentioned in my Company's weekly newsletter to clients today!
