The Poolie Bunker

Seen in the Mail tonight, featuring Life of Brian book. The story of Brian Honour written by John Riddle. What a fantastic idea. John is a real Poolie and Brian had a huge passion. Sounds like a winning combination to me....Well done to all and I hope it gets the support it really deserves!!

can anyone post details on how I can get an early copy - have some family out in Australia who were Little Jackies biggest fans and are really excited about it. Would be great to surprise them. Would be grateful if anyone has any details - PLEASE HELP.....

Contact Tenerifejohn from the members list, he is the author.

Thats great. Wouldnt it be good if the Club made Brian and John guests of honour at one of the games. Seems like yesterday that I was queing around the block for Brians Testimonal Game against NUFC! What a legend and TOTALLY under used by the Club..

My Daddy says that some people who come on here have lots and lots of different user names. Do you know what he means because I dont know.

whilst I appreciate the posting and comments I agree with the member who said Spam. The article in the Mail was sufficent thanks and the publisher tells me they have had over 300 enquiries already. So please don't flog it to death. There are far more important issues like three points on Friday.

I think I'll buy one when it comes out too.

The day that he ruined everything by being more interested in the black & white shower of shite than in us.

Who?

Mr Honour?

Both of me?

The day turned into 'were not worthy' type of homage to the shite with people going on as though it was a royal visit & the last we seen of Brian Honour was him running round our pitch in a black & white shirt.
Showed us where his true loyalties lie that day.

You might have done, but some lying fker reckoned opening the ticket office early "cos there was loads of Newcastle fans queueing" was more important than trying to make sure that Pools fans got tickets.

The black and white shirt business just tops it off really.

I still wanna read the book, but my respect for the guy (he was one of my heroes when I was a kid) dropped a lot after that debacle.

i dont think he ever denied he was a mags fan even in his playing days
you have to respect him for what he did for pools rather than slate him for wearing probably the shirt of his own boy hood hero he was a yakker born and bred he would naturally be either a mackem or a skunk in his school days

Im sure ive seen him in Peterlee Asda with a Sunderland dut or coat on, in fact im positive it was him. Maybe he was/is doing some work for Sunderland Academy too.

Well said Grem.

Thats fair enough,but to do a lap of honour round our pitch in front of us in a barcode is insulting.

Brian was a great player for Pools and he loved our club on that day he had the 2 loves of his life Pools and Newcastle and he enjoyed both. top man is bri.
