Thank you very much for joining me for today’s blog.
The good news is that there is some live football about to happen. Join Daniel Harris for Slovenia v Serbia.
“I watched England crash out of Euro 2004 in a packed pub in Fulham, wearing a Saracens rugby top (back before they were popular, which is also back before they were unpopular),” writes Tim Hoult.
“The man in front of me turned round at one point, clocked my shirt, and slurred ‘Do you play rugby for them, then?’ at me. I would love to say I had a witty reply, but skinny, gawky teenage-me probably stuttered awkwardly in the negative.
“He then turned round, picked up somebody else’s pint and downed it. Said pint’s owner, on realising, turned to confront him angrily...only to realise it was Ross Kemp, off of the telly. I’ve since learned that Kemp used to play for the Sarries second team, so...whilst he wasn’t a pro, there’s at least some tenuous link there!”
Classic Kemp.
