Our posse was infiltrated pre match by a Polish Liverpool supporter, nice chap in fact.
Anyhoo, our mutual friend was relaying a story about our Polish guy that apparently he once met John Wark and thought he was Bruce Grobbelaar. Polish chap insisted they look similar but I couldn't see it.
As it happens, after the game we were in The Waterfront bar and who should pop in but John Wark. As he walked to the bar I thought I would test this out so I loudly said, "Look, it's Bruce Grobbelaar where upon he looked at his companion and laughed.
Now then, apparently this is an actual thing and whenever John Wark and Brucie are invited to an ex players event in Liverpool they arrange to wear the exact same clothes in order to confuse the punters.

It certainly is. Johnny often commented on it at ITFC events.
My favourite John Wark story is about Escape To Victory. He is adamant that. off set, Kevin Beattie won an arm wrestling match against Sly Stallone.
The story goes that Beattie did indeed beat Stallone in an arm wrestle. Stallone was annoyed, but seeking his revenge suggested a rematch, only thus time using their left arms.
To which Beattie announced that he was left handed.

That reminds me of a classic scene from the film The Princess Bride:

Thanks for explaining on here. I had no idea why you shouted that. It was a good (long) day with pictures to prove it. Cask over the keg for the Mosaic on a hot day.

We were talking about it before the game, might have been before you arrived, or you might have been doing your David Bailey bit.
Good day though, cracker in fact.

An enjoyable day had by all.

Just been watching Warky on Life's A Pitch and he just came out with this great line re his sending off v Norwich: "I tried to tackle Darren Eadie in the first half but I was so late I tackled him in the second half!"
