Planet Rugby Forum

Follow-on from the bored legends thread.

How many famous players, coaches, referees* and commentators (past and present) did we have over the years?

Brian Moore is the only one I know of for certain.

I heard one of the SuperSport commentators use a boredism once (can't recall who or what was said), but that's not 100% proof obviously.


Also, any other famous sportsmen and women from other sports?



*Referees from the big leagues. So, sorry HK.

Almost sure a couple of Leicester players posted here many moons ago. One or two of the English posters can confirm this

Think Healey was one of them.

Will Greenwood lurked here.

When really famous people all meet at the bar on their Mauritian island retreat, they try to impress each other with tales of how well they know Globby.

I was hoping Fern Cotton.

Former England prop Davey Wilson said some really stupid stuff on here when he was a young'un, apparently.

Just confirmed that proto England players were 'roid driven orcs.

Marty Farty, hands down.

Lower your sights and it might be Fern Britten.

Marty was a bit more famous than a disgraced lobotomist Pairsh Councillor.

Who was he? I’ve no idea - is he known outside of wales

Sam Warburton used to post his diary on here

Cheers. I’ll go with Jamie Joseph as my second guess.

He lived in Cambodia in 2014. Gary Glitter?

Douche Chill was really Ma'a Nonu.

I'm pretty sure Bimbo is Enoch Powell

bimbo thinks enoch powell was a soft piece of shite, whilst simultaneously declaring himself as a 'liberal'

Obviously Marty Farty declared who he was so what’s the big secret?

These threads come up from time to time and always die a quick death.

Turns out we’re not that attractive to famous people.

The Park-footy of the internet.

Not that I’m complaining. Nothing better than running around in the thirds, bossing the part-timers and having a fag at half time.

A novel variation of the venerable ‘pull you off at~’ gag

That’s a joke a prop would make.

So who was Marty Farty??

themalteser wrote:So who was Marty Farty??

Roger Mellie, shirley.

Michael Winner would have been a decent guess but MF outlived him, AFAIK.

Powell whether you like him or not was an intellectual giant the racist Essex twat is an intellectual prion

You really are his private dancer...

I had him down for Piers Morgan

That’s so very odd, I’ve never expressed any “authoritarian “ views , wishes or other wise. I am a liberal in the classic sense, and hold nothing like Powell’s views ever.


Easy for Mullett to mistake as he’s a political child raised with Irish politics, you’re the urbane builder though and I fear a waste of any educational nuance you received.

Courteous and refined eh? Thank you, that's the nicest thing anyone's said to me for a while. Also, what exactly is educational nuance?

Re marty farty, he did say his name, but then bought so much gin I can't remember it.

Silly.

Powell is dead and only the undead could post about Brexit at 2am on a Saturday

Didn't Peter Fitzsimmons post here according to very reliable sauce

Not sure being a bandana wearing idiot gobshite on breakfast TV once in a while constitutes being famous.
