“Kanu’s Nan Interviews.....” 03/10/2000

I have been privileged(?) to have an opportunity to "speak" with some of the  games leading managers, George Borg, and Paul Fairclough.

First  up was  the short trip to the Rec, where I was told George was waiting for me in the  cellar. Just a nickname for the dressing room? If only. George was sitting  in front of a large pot, with a voodoo doll, of what appeared to be a milk  float.

KN: So George. Runners up in the league behind Dagenham last  season, you must be pleased.
GB: Hubble, bubble, I wish for more  crowd trouble...What are you doing interrupting my meditation?
KN:   Sorry, I was wondering what you think of Aldershot's promotion challenge this  season?
GB: How in the hell should I know? Every time we play, I'm far too  drunk to remember. But you can't print that. Mmmmmmm..Tequila..
KN: Hmmm,  what is the meaning behind the doll of a milk float?
GB: Milk float? This  is Carl Hoddle. He is determined not to sign for me, so this is how I want to  pay him back.
KN: Why are you trying to sign Carl Hoddle?
GB: So I can  build a team of players Woking loathe.Dave Venables next, then Paul  Gothard.
KN: Thanks for your time George...
GB: Call me SATAN!!!!!!
KN: OK, Sat...
GB: Bwahahahaha!!!!!
At this point, Borg grabbed me and  attempted to make me part of the burgers at the Wreck. Git.
 

Next up, a  trip to Stevenage, to see old Paul Fairclough, who insists he is a changed  man. I walk in to find him on the phone.

PF: Yes, I'd like to speak to the  Torquay hotline, yes, I was wondering if you'd considered my latest bung,  AAAARGH!!
KN: Sorry Paul, I didn't mean to interrupt.
PF: OK!OK! How much  do want not to tell the Woking fans!
KN: I won't say anything Paul.
PF:  I didn't know what I was doing!! Um, I'm drunk?! No! Don't print that!
KN:   Paul..
PF: I have got a birth certificate damn it!! I'm  not illegitimate!!!
KN: Hang on...
PF: I need to talk to Victor!! Help!!  He always has good advice, it was him who told me to ring Torquay!!!
KN:   Are you scared of him?
PF: I'm not scared of anyone! What are you  saying? Enter Darran Hay, who swears loudly at Fairclough
PF: Darran! Get  back! I'll get you if you touch me!
DH: You see this truncheon Paul, I'm  gonna..

At this point I decided to leave. Darran resembles Rambo you  know.

So there you have it, what they do when the cameras are away. I  tried to speak to Brian Talbot, but apparently, his name is Mandy at  weekends.For the record, here is George's list of scummers to play in his  dream team.

1. Paul Gothard. (Ex-Dagenham)
2. Graham Roberts  (Ex-Enfield)
3. Efe Sodje (Ex-Boro)
4. Carl Hoddle (Ex-Woking)
5. Dave  Venables (Ex-Boro)
6. Gary McCallister (Ex-Coventry)
7. Phil Gridelet  (Ex-Woking)
8. Phil Wingfield (Ex-Farnborough)
9. Justin Jackson(Ex-Woking)
10. David Leworthy (Ex-Everybody)
11. Nassim "Judas" Akrour  (Ex-Woking)

I agree with George. Very annoying. And a final word for Paul-  I still think Victor had nothing to do with it!!!!!!
