This guy is crazier than me! What a great fan! ( I've had to trim the post to get it to fit in.) http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...n-cost-girlfriend-Britain-s-barmiest-fan.html please log in to view this image Incenzo has to balance his obsession with work for talkSPORT and Sky Sports as a reporter He added: ‘One of my favourite trips was a game at Hexton FC in Hertfordshire, who played in the North Home Counties Sunday League third division. They had the smallest purpose-built grandstand in the world. One of their players had died so they built it as a memorial — it holds three people and has a little plaque inside.’ It is, he tells people, purely about ‘the love of football, any football’. Needless to say, it is not always an accommodating hobby. ‘People might not understand or think it is a little obsessive, but it’s just me. I have four spare bedrooms full of memorabilia and scrap books. please log in to view this image Incenzo takes notes from every game he attends and gets an official from the stadium to sign it please log in to view this image Colwyn Bay, who play in the Northern Premier League Premier Division, was one ground he visited ‘I take notes from every game I go to and get an official from each ground to sign it. In 2004, I was actually part of a ground-hopping trip that set a Guinness World Record by going to five games at five grounds in a day. ‘It was based around the Central Midlands League and I and about 250 other ground-hoppers started at 11am at Greenwood Meadows FC. From there, there was a game at 1pm at Pelican FC, 3pm at Dunkirk FC, 5.30pm at Sandiacre Town FC and 8pm at Graham Street Prims FC. ‘I think it was after the second game, I had a huge row with my girlfriend. I had told her I would be going to a few games but after the second she was getting quite agitated. I told her I had to stay to complete the world record and she stormed off. I’ve not seen her since. please log in to view this image ‘There are ground-hoppers all around the world and everyone has different rules. There are some German ground-hoppers who watch 45 minutes and go to the next game. That is a different hobby from my hobby — you have to watch the whole game or what is the point? ‘You go on an organised ground-hop trip and it can be anything from 200 to 400 people. It’s a nice community and full of quirks. ‘There is one guy who has to walk around the four sides inside the ground and outside as well and there is another who would insist on touching the match ball. There were a few times when he would get desperate and run on the pitch at half time or full time and hassle the referee to touch the ball. There was a game in Cornwall when the ball got kicked out of the ground on to a main road and he jumped into the road, between all these lorries and cars, to get to the ball.’ please log in to view this image The TalkSPORT presenter also has an impressive array of different footballing books from over the years For Incenzo, the demands are balanced against work for talkSPORT and Sky Sports and his obsession with QPR. ‘I started watching the QPR of Stan Bowles et al as a 10-year-old in 1973 and have been to 1,069 consecutive Loftus Road games, including every league, cup, friendly and testimonial game since,’ he said. ‘If you had offered me £1million to miss Sunday’s friendly against Atalanta I would have said no.’ It probably isn’t an exaggeration.
He's been the voice of QPR for as long as I can remember on the radio, there was a clip somewhere of him as a teenager saying he wanted to be a commentator/reporter so it's obviously in his blood...
Well, if it makes him happy and doesn't harm anyone, jolly D. Though obviously it's some kind of aspergic disorder.
He just got married this close season didn't he..amazing. I remember him as a kid, appearing on television, saying he wanted to visit every ground in the country...was it Blu Peter or Magpie? I also love his (lackof) organisational skills in his storage, but obviously not in his "clerking" of football grounds he has been to.
Good for him He has great taste And that is what QPR should align themselves with again Many football fans second choice The club would do well to remember that ... You cannot put a price on that evolution ... Now in gutter sadly but no reason it cannot be lifted IMO Left wondering what would of happened if our cash injection was handled correctly over the last 6 years?
"A QPR themed room is normal for Incenzo and says how his obsession started when he was just 10" Must be a QPR thing ............. I became an instant R'rsss fan in 1971 when I was 10 ! Anyone else fit this category????
We'd be mid-table Prem - playing keep ball football. giving diving lessons, selling prawn sandwiches and merchandise to our legions of "fans" keeping the faith in the Far East Punters at Loftus Road would be paying in excess of £60 to get in. The owners would be the only ones who got any real joy out f it.
Incenzo is thought of being a bit of a weirdo in most QPR fan circles. Each to their own say I. 1968 - aged two.
You're right N.R. this is getting spooky !!! May 1970, aged 10. (Not Q.P.R. mind, but don't hold that against me !). We will have to call this the 10 club. You probably heard of the 27 club. Famous Musicians and singers that died at age of 27. Amy Winehouse, Kurt Cobain, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison and Brian Jones to name a few.
