Lol'd at people not knowing who he was.
I'd love to meet him, and i don't even follow football.

vn1 matey!
I too am on my second poppy Jealy, but it's all for a good cause.
JohnBarny what'd you do in the RAF - it's something im looking into (hopefully at officer level) at the moment and was funnily enough going to make a thread asking if anyone was in armed forces.

He was in Manchester, not London.

Glad somebody set him straight ;)

And Sir Bobby Charlton, won the World Cup in 1966 and also won European player of that year as well? If I've got my facts right, oh and also played for that lower league club . . . Manchester United, while he was playing there he was one of the only survivors of the Air plane crash thing, was it in Munich? and he was the youngest one or something?

Just a brief back ground info :)

Im a Cis OM or ICT tech or whatever they call it at the afcos now it changes every 2 months lol. If your wanting to go for a techy trade and specialize in something like IT or Aircraft I would advise not to go for officer as officers can only join as general engineers it works all differently for them. I was in navy a few years ago and defiantly prefer the raf we tend to get alot more cushty jobs than army n navy n our living quarters are miles better no offense omen :P. I know omen is REME (army) if you want to know anything about what it likes feel free to pm me or reply here
