Big Daddy gave Mal on of his famous body splashes unfortunately Mal was knocked out & he was pronounced dead at the local hospital without regaining consciousness, at the inquest it was found Mal had a heart condition & Big Daddy was cleared of any blame of Mals tragic death

Yeah, recall that day. I was still living in Yarmouth at the time but wasn't at the bout.

As it happens i'm in his place of birth Fev for the game against Toulouse tomorrow so quite a poignant reminder of the big fella....

The Queen, who happened to be passing, dropped in for a cuppa.
Someone had laced the tea and her drugged-up Majesty decided to do a streak.
The ball became so aroused, it inflated and burst.
The game had to stop for five minutes while the Queen was ushered off the pitch and a new ball was found.
By gum they were eventful days ....

Not even close?

This is the picture of the genuine streaker from London who wrote to the Dons directors asking if she could do a streak at a home game in the hope it would increase the attendance & the clubs finances.

The 10:40 train will be no good if it goes to Extra time or Golden Point, so you better hope we finish them off in normal time!
