We all admired him back in the day. Come ask him some questions at our Coach Forum at Keele Uni. Our previous forums have been a great success. Nello may be present too. Attachment Deleted

Does he laugh with Ric about the WHU incident now?

Does he laugh with Ric about the WHU incident now? Griffin never seems to shy away from having a dig at ric and from various things he's said during his role with radio Stoke it is safe to assume that problems between the pair of them started long before the incident at west ham.

Why didn't he take media training with Gary Neville instead of Phil?

Why is he so short?

Quality lads...I'm sure he'll be enthralled that our lasting impression of him was around his stature and personality.
Anyone else?

Sadly his memory for me is tarnished by what he did at West Ham and I never really forgave him for sodding off to Derby at the first chance.
Could have been a Stoke legend, chose a different path, his decision no hard feelings, but fairly indifferent towards him .

Andy, you started to go grey at quite a young age. When that happened, did your pubes follow suit or did they retain their original colour?
Can't think of anything else I need to know.

Tell him Sophi sends her best and hopes that he's doing well. If you mention pink KA 'as in KA car' he'll know what you mean or that his wife's 'Griffins wife that is' best friend has seen to sophi at the hospital. She sends her best and never forgets those who took/take time out to talk/help her.

Can you ask if its true that in 1997, Macari couldnt find him on the day of his SCFC debut. He was apparently around the corner from the Vic eating a Wrights Pie and due to injury, Lou needed an additional sub for the bench. He sent out a scout to locate him, and he was brought back to the Vic 'mid-pie' like a Dickensian urchin. He took to the pitch for his full professional debut a mere 17 minutes 'post-pie'. Im being serious. A Geordie mate of mine swears its true, Griff told this story during his sojourn with NUFC, and to this day refers to him as 'Pie Boy'.

He is from Wigan so the pie story makes sense.

It's this Friday at Keele Uni gents.
Would be great to see a few Oatcakers there.
I can confirm that Bojan can no longer make walk up Keele Bank and will probably not be there.

He admitted last night that his move to Derby was driven by his ambition to play against his childhood heroes in the top flight such as Stevie Gerrard. He realised at his second training session he had made a mistake. He was very honest about that.

Was that after his loan spell with us and prior to signing permanently? I have no recollection of that at all.

This is false, my friend thanks for getting back to me. Hope it was a good night, Im sure it was, he comes over very well on the radio. wonder where this story comes from then, must have been another apprentice
