Good article OLM. Palin was one of the best players I have ever played with (after he'd retired from professional football obviously). Still found him to be a bit of a cock though. His missus was fit though
Yes, I met him in The Barrel pub one day and he's got the most irritating Brummie accent I've ever heard. I felt like doing this: please log in to view this image (He's not Scouse anyway...)
Thought it was the same Leigh he has two sons. One which is Lewis Palin, one of my very close friends from school. Top family, agree about the misses!
He's nice bloke, as with previous interviews, this isn't the first time I've spent the afternoon in the pub with the player being interviewed. I didn't do it in The Barrel though, he's currently favouring the Dog and Duck.
I thought he was helping to run it as well, and it was his nepotism that allowed his lads into the team?
Of course not, that's ridiculous. Everyone in football is an honourable gentleman. (Especially the Fergusons)
Leigh is indeed manager of Walkington FC, both his lads play for him, he's even registered as a player himself.
