I have just spent a delightful 2 hours dialing into a talk in on Zoom with Mr P, arranged by the Yorkshire Supporters' Club. It was put on to raise funds for the NHS. I was told about it by the Secretary of the Malta SC, who also dialled in.
I managed to get my hair under some sort of control and got some root cover up, and put makeup on for the first time in months, so I wouldn't scare everyone.
My question to him was, had he ever met the guy who jumped out of the crowd at the '81 Cup Final, just after he picked up the Cup. He did meet him at an anniversary do, and he was OK with it, he recognised that it was natural exuberance and I remarked that we all probably would have done the same, given the opportunity.
He does waffle a bit (bless him), but the two hours just flew by and I can now say that Stevie P has seen my bedroom
Nutter-Naylor
- this is for you.
He finished off with a funny story about Nutter (the original one!), that's what he called him.
When the team were in the USA (he couldn't remember if it was Florida or LA), some of them wanted to go to Disneyland. Once there, they were walking around, and Steve turned round to see Nutter rolling around on the ground, with Chip 'n Dale! Apparently the guys in the costumes were great with the kids, but would slap any dad nearby. Nutter just told them, if they did it to him, he would dish it out double. Sure enough, next thing punches were flying, with Nutter coming out on top. As Steve said, good job it was in the days before social media, can you imagine what the media would do with that!
Have I ever mentioned that I love him
