Did you know our "Pointless Friend" .....

[ofco8]

..... Richard Osman is a BHA season ticket holder? Strange as he was born in Essex and has mentioned, on the programme, travelling to Essex a lot by train, so assumed he still lived there. (He is also a towering 6' 7").
Nice to have quality fans as opposed to that awful Jo Brand who supports that lot up the A23.
If you don't know who Richard is you can see him weekday evenings at 5.15pm on BBC 1. Top bloke.

Brother of the bassist in Suede. I used to work for the same TV company as him many years ago (at the height of Suede's fame) and he was a bit of a dick, but I suppose we all were when we were younger.

That's superb. Have researched him in the past (couldn't believe his height, although his wiki said 6 ft 11 back when I checked it) but had no idea he had any affiliation with the Albion. Found him quite annoying at first but he has grown on me considerably - even more so upon hearing his news.

You're right at 6'7" somebody must have seen him at the stadium!!! Also same age as Alexander Armstrong. Both 41 this year.!!!

 

[brightn'ove]

his brother is a palace fan!

Obviously his brother lacks taste then

I lived in the same road as him in Haywards Heath as a child. We went to the same schools and were in the same year. He supported Southampton back then so I am a bit surprised to hear this. I haven't seen him for over 20 years come to think of it!

Strange, he has been a season ticket holder at Fulham for many years.

Well, I say he was a Southampton fan, but I don't think he actually ever went to watch them so maybe he wasn't that staunch a fan.

The season ticket thread is also on Wiki. If wrong would have thought he would have deleted by now.
