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. ;-)

    • I understand that she also has numerous motoring offenses,  Oh wait a second that was someone else https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5y4558r5gko] Sadly a cross bencher so can't blame Starmer for this.   Here's a former Tory minister https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-65696003
    • Not so fast @malumbu. This is not a nothing to see here moment (and for some of us on the forum it is local as her house is in Dulwich)- the BBC explain why, have a read: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cvgkvd3jg2no Southwark's role in this will be key - did they alert her, will they fine her (as they have done with other private landlords), was it someone in Southwark who leaked it? This government came in on a ticket of integrity and this type of thing is very damaging to that message - especially in light of other similar issues Starmer's front-bench has had - it cannot be one rule for them and one rule for us. @Dulwichway you know you're in political trouble when videos like that appear within hours of a story breaking.....and goes viral. 
    • The limit is supposed to be 25 per day.  Have you made that amount today? 
    • 🤣 Well, I can apparently  "react" provided I take up a whole other post to do it. I wonder when "today" ends, and what is my daily quota of "reactions"?
