Today has been a strange day, I mean apart from the Russian invasion (I blame Donald Putin myself). I met a stalker I didn't know I had, a more ginger person than Bandgeekmafia and the Niece of just about the biggest Salford Rugby legend of all time.
Relax it's not me trying to go all Facefook on you, I'll explain.
Picked a guy up this morning from Monton and got chatting about the pros and cons of the new Hip 'N' Happen place to be and said I love my Belgium beers so go in Maltdog, at this point the guy says you're Michigan Red aren't you, I then contemplated pressing the panic button
. He explained that he reads all the posts on here as a non member and put the taxi driver bit, my Salford badge on the dash and love of Belgium beer together and worked out it was me, hopefully he'll join and contribute as he had some very valid points to put across.
The downside is my God did he put our resident Red haired leper BGM to shame (sorry to Alan and Chris but it's just to easy) with the colour of his mop.
The 2nd (and thankfully more interesting to most) is that later I picked a lady up from Tyldesley and took her back to Eccles, we got talking about rugby and she said I come from a rugby family, what she should have said is she comes from rugby league royalty being that her family name is Risman, the lady went on to tell me that her Uncle Gus was a giant of a man who was a total gentleman of the pitch but loved the hard stuff on it, said that Bev was still with us and that the family as a whole used to own a bar in Cockermouth called Rizzo's (not sure if it's still going).
She lives of Barton Lane and said that she wants to attend a few Salford games with her partner now that she has successfully beaten cancer, told her to contact the club as this is exactly the type of person they need to be quizzing to see hat she can tell them of such a legend and maybe to see if she has any treasures she might share with the clubs museum.
