Noticed recently there is a Michelle Ackerley on the Wall of Fame, the name of a BBC presenter, coincidence?Was back again on Sunday according to the S*n (won't post the link) - a "surprise visitor", in fact. He's also the very last name on the Wall of Fame on the North Stand.
No, not a coincidence. She's married to Ben Ryan.Noticed recently there is a Michelle Ackerley on the Wall of Fame, the name of a BBC presenter, coincidence?
And expecting next month. Trebles all round!No, not a coincidence. She's married to Ben Ryan.
not sure if he has a ST but he was in front of me in the queue for food in legends lounge at half time at the Man united match the other weekKrishnan GuruMurthy on Who wants to be a millionaire just now. Didn’t know Craven Cottage was closer to Wembley than Molineux??
Doesn't look like it from a three minute google and two mins on facebook. But I could well be wrong.Driving home from work, listening to Radio 6, they played somebody I didn't know (I don't half of the Radio 6 playist!) called Daniel Avery. Checking the GPG FF league just now, I notice a namesake near the top of the table. Any link?
Married to Mark Flanagan who appears to live in ChiswickThis may have been listed before but the Wikipedia entry for Jo Coburn the ex BBC political reporter states she supports Brentford FC.
Was he real? Did you pick him up and check for a red rose on his bottom?Eric Knowles was at the game on Saturday… but I guess he’s not that famous and, being a Lancastrian, almost certainly a Burnley supporter, so he doesn’t qualify at all!
He was with someone and their conversation was quite loud, inviting others in the lift to join in with his ‘witticisms’, using a stronger accent than on Antiques Roadshow. I think he was genuine, with his cracks and all.Was he real? Did you pick him up and check for a red rose on his bottom?
Never heard of him, which made @JANORAK’s comment read quite oddly until I read the clue in your subsequent post!Eric Knowles was at the game on Saturday… but I guess he’s not that famous and, being a Lancastrian, almost certainly a Burnley supporter, so he doesn’t qualify at all!
what were you doing on Jo Coburn's wikipedia page?This may have been listed before but the Wikipedia entry for Jo Coburn the ex BBC political reporter states she supports Brentford FC.
I was thinking it was the snooker bloke!!!Never heard of him, which made @JANORAK’s comment read quite oddly until I read the clue in your subsequent post!
Yes big Burnley fan and makes no secret of it.Eric Knowles was at the game on Saturday… but I guess he’s not that famous and, being a Lancastrian, almost certainly a Burnley supporter, so he doesn’t qualify at all!

Well I'm certainly convinced.
See you at Macclesfield Chris
Ummm, is he friends with Paul Young then?I guess he laid his hat somewhere else.
Any more wonderful anecdotes you can share?I once saw Leo walking his dog in Central London about 30 years ago
Dohh! Think I'll pop off to the "signs you're getting old" thread.Ummm, is he friends with Paul Young then?
Is Leo Sayer being escorted off for a pitch invasion violation?!Think this was a Forest game. So you never know what will happen at the next home game.

Regularly seen in his heyday (70s/80s?), shopping in Bentalls. That might have been disproportionate though, as Mrs J used to work there! Never thought of him as a BEE at the time…Is Leo Sayer being escorted off for a pitch invasion violation?!
His great song "Orchard Road" actually refers to Churchfield Road, Acton, just 3 miles from Brentford.
It’s about a phone conversation he had with his wife, when they were going through difficulties.
The song was called Orchard Road instead because of sounding better musically/lyrically than Churchfield Road.
Another anecdote to mull over is that I used to work at a printers down Churchfield Road, didn't see Leo in the phone box thoughIs Leo Sayer being escorted off for a pitch invasion violation?!
