Saw it earlier said what he had written 8 years ago was a load of s***, or something to that effect. Then something about him 'fitting in at the mail'. Hardly abuse. More opinion. Oliver Holt started asking if this was Brentford's PR strategy and tagging Chris Wickham...

That's why I put abuse in inverted commas. It's a fair enough shout, poor journalism shines through that article. Hunt is hardly the like of David Beckham and an unreachable star.

However always best to not give sport journalists any flack when you're all things media for a football club....

He did the same thing to me a few years ago when I dared to suggest that SH was a 100% er but would only ever play for a struggling prem team at best. He developed a personal vendetta against me for months on this website and it only stopped when he got the official gig at BFC. I was only giving my opinion which turned out to be correct although to be fair I never lost any sleep over it. I am not waiting for an apology.

Retired from football to concentrate on his Ken Dodd impersonation.

Don't think that was down to him. They showed the absolute minimum they could get away with, of our game. Hardly showed any celebrations after the goals. :(

I was more impressed that I could understand what Hunt was saying. Maybe he's been having classes with Professor Henry Higgins... ? :shrug:

He still looks like he should be working on a fairground ride!

nice interview here with him as he retires: http://www.independent.ie/sport/soc...it-and-that-was-it-stephen-hunt-34754959.html
mentions that he didn't get Martin Allen at all, but that Steve Coppell was like a father to him

Great read. A tad disappointed he never mentions the time (Ahem ! nervous cough) he was out drinking in East Grinstead late one night before a game for us with his girlfriend .... (Ahem ! nervous cough again) He got a right b***ocking for that from Coppell
 

Stephen Hunt (retired)

Still waiting for my Damned CD I leant him years back !
Also fondly remember interviewing him years back for our matchday programme and I didn't have a clue what he was talking about ! thick Irish accent was killing me. Made for a good read in the programme I'm sure

Went to a Q&A last night with Hunty, he was quality and a good laugh. A lot of positives about his Brentford days , said they turned him from a boy to a man. Loved playing for coppell and was gutted about Stoke game, said to many out of contract players cost us. As said below Martin Allen was his only negative as wanted him playing when he was injured and fell out over it.

What's the story behind MA leaving him out of the team? I wasn't on the GPG then.

I can answer that one. Stephen had a slight groin strain which caused a mild amount of pain the afternoon before the next game. Martin Allen decided to give the little tinker a rest.

The legend goes that he was the only one to challenge MA when he told them that they were too crap to stay up.

The consequence was that a list of players that could leave the team was pinned to the 1st team changing room at Jersey Road.

Something similar to that anyway.

I heard that story from someone who saw the list going up - it was on a post-it note, I believe. Those named didn't last long!!

From memory it read "I don't like you" with Dobson, Hunt, Rougier and Talbot on the list.

Hunt's injury was not treated correctly at the time, but he won 39 Republic of Ireland caps and played more than 100 premier league games after leaving us, so didn't do too badly despite what mhead Bee thinks.

I think Rougier was already gone before any list went up!! He must be the quickest departure following the arrival of a new manager on record. Some previous history from their Reading days, I assume?

I seem to remember that when we did in fact stay up Huntie danced the lap of honour waving a Bees flag around. Think he then left that summer.

Interesting - Talbot stayed and was captain the following season wasn't he? Seem to remember MA wanted to keep him the following season too but Talbot wanted to move back north?
