The Seagull File - 1987/88

[Hiney]

One of the great features from programmes in the 80s, was the Q&A from the players. I've been tweeting these out over the past few days.

Some absolute classics and some clear pisstakes.

Number One - Doug Rougvie

 

[blue'n'white]

You forgot to add the big "X" in the "autograph" spot !

Ah, the classic 80s footballer's musical taste and favourite food. Looking forward to some more of these. Surely some "Dislikes: Rude people" to come Hiney??

Presumeably an 'off the peg' template. Wouldn't happen these days...............

Number 3 - Mike Trusson

 

[Codner pharmaceuticals]

You must have found the only 3 footballers ever who didn't put only fools and horses as their favourite tv programme....

Number 4 - Kevan Brown

Good to see Phil Collins making his routine appearance in the "favourite music" column

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

That Kevan Brown looks like a nice chap. Like butter wouldn't melt in his mouth.

Doesn't like courgettes though. Good to know.

 

[Mackenzie]

I've got most of those programs, the 87/88 season was a classic.

 

[Man of Harveys]

Fascinating stuff. "Dislikes - Courgettes".

I reckon if Kevan Brown had ever tried my mum's recipe for them with cheese sauce, she'd have converted him for sure. Then he could have worked on how to spell his own name correctly.

More fascinating glimpses into the wild and crazy world of professional football.

Number 5 - Grant Horscroft

But in terms of Q&A bingo, he's almost got the full house (Dire Straits, steak & chips, Only Fools & Horses).

Yes.

He's let down the stereotype, by including Test Match Special though.
