His sense of humour was fantastic - it was out of this world.”

True football fans are passionate about the game and the team, but want to enjoy the atmosphere in a calm and fun way.I’ve just read Bob’s book and although enjoyable, I have read a lot better. Well worth a read and gives a good insight into the man. Victor McIntyre, 33, flew into a rage when Middlesbrough clashed with Leicester at King Power Stadium last season, Gazette Live reports. Mark said he worked for several years with his brother as bouncers on the doors of Middlesbrough pubs after the pair grew up in Hemlington. nowt to do with hooliganism,simply to do with a couple of bloody boring football supporters...and i was honestly very patient My uncle worked with this man and he never mentioned it once until my uncle was sat in the cabin reading the book. Even then he was unassuming.
