I've found out today that one of my degree students is the grand nipper to former Stoke goalkeeper Norman Wilkinson pictured below playing against Arsenal. Anyone else have a relative who is a legend for for no other reason than for playing in the red and white stripes?  |

Hardly a legend, either of them, but my great uncle Charlie Hallam played for Stoke in the 20s and my dad was in the youth team with the likes of Alan Bloor in the late 50s/early 60s.

It will do for me, because let's face it, it's 99.9% closer to God than any of us armchair fantasists will ever reach. |

I've been out with two women who had dated Stoke players, Sean Haslegrave and Paul Bracewell, close relations?! Yes a bit of an age difference, the Hazelgrave one was 12 years older than me and great experience, although it was somewhat like throwing a sausage up an alley! The Bracewell one was lovely! |

My next-door neighbour (80+, Sheffield) used to hang out with the Banks as a kid.
None of them reckoned much to Gordon's talents.

I've done work for Terry Conroy, Dennis Smith and Asmir Begovic. Sadly, I've recently done stuff for Robin Van der Laan too.
I consider myself a very close friend to all of them. They have no idea who I am.
