the following is from a mailing list thingy sent by a dodgy bar, which used to be a purely comedy club. emphasis mine:
"... FOOTBALL SPECIAL - In association with Premier Events and Media - Spend an evening in the company of Manchester United and England legend Lee Sharpe.Find out the real story behind the man they called "the new George Best". The Girls, the Parties and what's Fergie really like?
This is your chance to ask the questions. Monday 26 April, doors open at 7pm. Only $30 includes buffet and 1 beer.."
like as if he's in the same stratosphere as Eric Cantona.
one thing for sure is, fairweather fans, groupies and slags will definitely make a beeline to drool over Sharpey. i wager the last category of specimen's do not have an absolute idea as to who he actually is.
btw, i'm not aware that beer is countable.
as enscribed by the letter b @ April 19, 2004 08:02 AMactually i preferred him on the left wing to giggs back then but it was a real shame that he didn't have the chance to prove his worth.
coincidentally enough, the bar he used to hang out at - blah on the wall or somesuch - was just next door to the b&b pub i put up at. and i didn't realise it until the day before i left manchester. sad or wot.
as blahed by breanagh @ April 22, 2004 06:46 PMNo disrespect but Sharpey was really a decent player (maybe not so much of a legend) when he was a Red Devil. The contributors to his downfall were his hedonistic lifestyle and the one Ryan Giggs. :P
Pity about the "1 beer" though...
