Maybe he was born in Northumberland and now resides in Durham. Or maybe like me, born in Hertfordshire and brought up in Sunderland. Or my son, born in Northampton and brought up there and Australia. It doesn’t matter where you’re from it’s whether or not your support for your chosen club is genuine.
He's hilarious this kid. My son knows him and says he doesn't even talk like that normally. He's a decent kid apparently, but like so many others he has this Tik Tok "persona" that he feel he needs to play up to...
As my great uncle said to me as a kid, there's always a bigger beast in the jungle and if you go looking for it or draw attention to yourself, it'll find you sooner or later and then god help you.
I worked for a Brummie, in Antibes, who painted super yachts and was a bit of a gangster. He really was a beast, 6’4” bodybuilder and slightly unhinged. We’d be in situations where I'd see him start to lose it and I’d literally beg the other people to just walk away. If they didn’t the consequences could be terrible, once he started he’d carry it on way more than necessary. He ended up moving to Malaga, as the French police had him under surveillance, and carried on painting the yachts, running a night club, etc … … sure enough he was tracked down and worked over by a gang of blokes he’d upset in France, never truly recovered. As you say, size is important but it isn’t everything.
