The only thing that pisses me off with Vietch at the moment is him banging on about getting the Nix to move to Auckland. As if they last two experiements (Kingz & Knights) proved a roaring success. And no, I am not having a go at those fans that did turn up and did make the effort to make it a success.
Devlin, I used to knock around with Martin and his brother Karl way back in the mid 70's to early 80's. Way back then, Martin was a smart alec but he was actually a Manure fan along with his brother. So he isn't a plastic fan in that respect. He knew his football through and through as did the four of us (There was another firend to make up the quartet.). We used to live reading Shoot Magazines and playing football out the front of the old Bryant & May match factory as the grass surface was perfect and we had a wall on which to mark out some goals. It was also to play 2 aside or 4 aside if others showed up.
Although Martin went on from strength to strength he had a history growing at the Basin and on the radio for being a bit too smart which is a shame. Perhaps he has an ego that is out of control, I don't know. I called him a wanker once and he nor the other guy have spoken to me which is kinda amusing.
