Taking a Premier League Footballer down a peg or two

[Ron Manager]

Went to a publicity thing in Brisbane on Friday for our game against Everton.

Brisbane captain Matt McKay was standing chatting to Pointless Neville. A mate of mine went up to Pointless and said, "Excuse me Phil, any chance of a photo?" to which Pointless replied "yes mate, no problem". My mate said "thanks"...handed Pointless Neville the camera and posed with Matt McKay and got Pointless to take the picture.

The look on Neville's face was brilliant but the best thing is looking at the picture he took - Matt McKay is obviously trying really hard not to wet himself laughing as I and a few mates were stood behind Pointless absolutely ****ing ourselves!

Edit - Now have the picture

Post the photo!!!

Will try and get my mate to post it onto the Brisbane forum and I'll put it up here. We were looking at it on his camera in the pub before the match last night and wetting ourselves about it again.

That is quality!

Whilst I actually agree with the pointless neville name, and it is a great shot, I'd happily be called pointless if I could have a Champions League winners medal, and nigh on 50 England caps....

Just shows how worthless England caps have become!! No wonder the muppets don't care about losing to Slobovia.

Stanley Matthews got 54 caps in 23 years (ok there was a small war in the middle of that) & nigh fecking on fecking 50!! for fecking Spawn of the Neville? No fecking he fecking got fecking 59 fecking caps fecking!! My case rests.

Andy, if I could I'd fly out simply to abuse him & fly straight back.

He and the rest of the Everton team will be back in Blighty by now.

Did manage a rather loud (and solo, I was quite drunk) rendition of "If Phil Neville played for England so could I" as he was very close to us at the match itself. He definitely heard it, but chose to ignore it.

Just thought I'd resurrect this. Now Matty is a regular international (ok, only for Australia but bless him he can't help being born in the wrong country) and captain of the mighty league champion Brisbane Roar. Seems his brush with greatness in pre-season did good for his year (and apart from meeting me he also met Phil Neville).

Would love to see him in a blue shirt, a combative leader in midfield who doesn't stop running with plenty of quality and an eye for goal too. However if he moves to Europe sadly i don't think it would be to a League 2 side - so hopefully he stays here.
