KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Bob Paisley funny story

a mate of mine went to a sportsmans dinner before christmas , it was david fairclough speaking , he had this story about bob , he said he had just broke into the team scored two weeks on the spin and played well and he thought he had done enough to stay in the team , he continued the players all got 4 tickets each , but fairclough never got his this week , so he said to roy evans " i havent got my tickets roy" , roy evans says you better go and see the boss , fairclough said to roy "you go roy " roy said no you will have to go , so fairclough went to bob's office knocked on the door , bob said come in , fairclough said " boss i havent got my tickets" , bob said sorry son here your tickets and heres another one your not playing today , just brilliant from sir bob , this fella won 3 european cups just brilliant story .

theres loads of these great stories about bob another one involving david fairclough is , bob names the 11 for a match and the two names left are david johnson and david fairclough who are sitting next to each other in the changing room , so just as bob is going out the changing room , joe fagan said who is the sub boss , bob turns around and points to the two david's and said david is sub and leaves , and they didnt know if it was david fairclough or david johnson , just magic stuff .

He sounds like an idiot in those stories..

Hello kopite

More stories faz please

Disgusted that you even posted something horrible like that these are what bob was a great man and you say that vile you and very sad.

Yep all good stuff faz, the story I liked was the one Dave Watson, former stalwart of Everton tells about when he was a reserve at Liverpool, he said he had been playing well for the reserves for a while and was summoned to Sir Bob's office, he goes on to say he had never ever spoke to Sir Bob in his life and knocked on his door expecting to be told he had earned a first team debut that coming weekend only to be met with " Sorry Son we have just sold you to Norwich City " quality stuff...

I agree its great stuff and his style worked and these stories are funny in s nice way , but then we get people saying sir bob sounded like an idiot .

Dont think you should be suprised with that faz considering what you know about Liverpool fans now but nevermind.

im going to gently support that actually, neither story pains paisley in a good light, that doesnt take away from what he did.

Woh hold your horses there now, bob paisley is an absolute,
Legend in my view, but the way you told these stories did nt, make him sound very clever at all, in fact quiete the opposite. So stop with the drama queen routine. I only meant it as tongue in cheek
