I am going out to Spain at the end of the month and one my friends who is travelling with us is a close friend of Stevie and his family having grown up in Benalmadena, Spain near his Bar, Inchy's. Right result when I found out so could not wait to book the holiday which MRS Seaton Bee badly needs at this time of her pregnancy.
Anyway just thought it would be a good idea to start a thread that fans could contribute to with messages that I could pass on to Stevie when I get to meet him.
Our group met the legend Stevie Phillips this week, and so far I can only describe it as an honour. Not only does Stevie recall every goal he scored for Brentford in four seasons of playing for the Bees, he also has a love for Brentford, that many fans like me have in bred in them, despite Steve being a Tottenham fan as a kid.
His kindness today to a small group of Bees fans will not be forgotten and there for all to see very soon when we return. His regards for so many at BFC, including the Programme Collecters Club Chairman whom he stays in touch with to this day, is very obvious and sincere.
I am gutted that one of our group today was presented by Steve with a set of BFC (castle badge) cuff links, whilst I had to settle for a news cutting nearly thirty years old but I can honestly say the experience has been a pleasure and would recommend a visit to Inchy´s bar to anyone in the vicinity of Torremelinos, Marbella, Fuengirola or Benalmadena, Costa del Sol.
Any messages REAL Bees fans have for Steve can be posted here on Friday before noon ( subject to the powers that be allowing you too this time of course) and we will more than happily pass them on to Stevie before our return.
