HOW I BROKE MAX CLIFFORD'S KNEE



Back in the early 80s I regularly played football with a bunch of journalists, most of whom like myself worked at Mirror Group Newspapers. Once a week we'd meet up and play seven-a-side near Kings Cross then adjourn to a boozer nearby and sink a few beers together before staggering back to the office. Max Clifford was one of those players as was Sir Nicholas Lloyd. One afternoon during a game Max was marking me tightly and as a cross came in we both went for the same ball. I shrugged him off easily and beat him in the air to score with a far post header. As he fell to the ground, Max landed awkwardly and broke his knee.



Just thought I put that out there. True story.

All true.


I was much younger than the rest of the journalists that played football then so I could run rings around most of them and scored frequently. I was quite a talented player as a young man even if I say so myself.


NB: I'm looking forward to (dreading) *Bob's* reply to this one. ;-)

    • Went to a fireworks display maybe 20 years ago at the Crystal Palace, it wasn't bonfire night, can't remember why it was being held, Capital Radio were there. There were people hanging from a crane, classical music, and quiet fireworks,  It was lovely, still dramatic with the colours but no loud bangs. Not sure why this hasn't become the norm.

    • Nadia did a great job tidying up my very very overgrown yard. (See the before and after photos). I live in New Zealand and my tenants said a neighbour has been complaining about the out of control ivy. Nadia was easy to contact so over WhatsApp, managed to liaise between me and my tenants. Her quote was reasonable for the amount of work that needed doing, and the end result is great! She sent photos throughout so I could track progress. Would highly recommend her to others.
