Just seen the Jewell interview where two kids are talking and one calls for Jewell to be sacked not realising he is in the queue behind them. Mouth foot etc! Anyone got any majorly embarassing moments they want to share?
Nothing to do with football, but I was once in a chip shop in Hampstead, queing up behind a little blonde fella. My mate, who was a bit pissed, said rather too loudly "that bloke looks like Sting, only smaller." You can guess the rest...
You really must get a new job. I try not to recall personally embarrassing moments (Freudian I know), but one I saw once that is football related. At an away match in the 83/84 season (3 wins away from the double remember) and leaning on a fence outside the ground with lots of other Saints. There was this little old bloke near me screaming at players getting off the bus. Danny Wallace was accused of sleeping with the boss, but this was expressed a little more crudely.... and so on. Every word was pure filth and directed at each and every member of this, the most successful team in our history. What the guy couldn't see was Big Lawrie coming down the line signing programmes. Lawrie stopped in front of this bloke who suddenly went quiet and did that classic double take thing. He then fished out his programme and pushed it at Lawrie who signed it without a word and moved on. Everyone around was in hysterics and mighty mouth slunk off.
Getting caught on the BBC cameras looking slightly mental celebrating Deano's goal on the opening day of the season. In an ironic twist of fate not getting on the cameras at all at a televised game last season - the camera would pan accross and stop on my sisters boyf who was sat next to me then stop. This wouldn't have been so embarrising had it not happend 3 times and seen by my friends. Clearly I am not pretty enough for TV (but Martin Keown is!?!?!).
Thats the one...Though I saw myself on the football league show that night...on BBC. Just say "Television Cameras" then.
Looking only slightly mental when Hammond scored was actually an achievement. Most of the crowd were hysterical.
Once went swimming at an outdoor lido dived in the pool and during the process split my truncks around the under carraige without noticing . I then returned to sit with my mates enjoying a bit of laddish banter in a fairly legs a kimbo position with ones balls hanging out facing a party of good looking girls sat just away from us.There was much laughter from all including the female group i even joined in the laughter for around ten minutes without actually getting the joke before one of my mates once he had stopped crying pointed out the situation. Needless to say i went home by the way my user name has no bearing on the story
I was performing a concert in the guild hall and at some point theres a "stadium rock clap above your head" moment so in front of a full guild hall I clapped above my head and repeatedly hit the other head mike that hung above me causing loud bangs and making me look a fool I went bright red and very sheepish for the rest of the concert. I've many others as well but this is my most recent.
Many, many years ago, I was ejected by the local constabulary from an Arbroath v Aberdeen game - nothing violent of course, just some capers, running on the pitch at half-time etc. Arbroath`s ground is called Gayfield - never lived it down.
