Sergio is sheepish
CHARLIE Lee is getting his own back.
When the midfield star first arrived at London Road from Spurs, Posh fans will remember his dreadful hairstyle and manager Darren Ferguson was quick to christen him Stig Of The Dump.
Well, the other day, Lee was overheard calling new Argentinian winger Sergio Torres, 'Sheep-head'.
Yeh, I can see where he's coming from.
Mum's the word . . .
LOCAL football's Gary Clipston has been badgering the ET for over a year to get a new picture taken of him.
According to the vain Yaxley manager the one we keep using is dreadful. He's orange and looks like Tango Man.
So when our snapper went to a Yaxley match the other night he was under instruction to get a selection of new shots of Mr Clipston.
It wasn't until late on that Clippo spotted the snapper and when he was told he'd been photographing him throughout the night, panic set in!
He said: "I know you've been taking a lot of new pictures of me but can you not use the one of me smoking - my mum will kill me!"
For the record Clippo is 42 years-old!
Smokey bacon flavour
HUNTINGTON Town Football Club manager Darren Young was 'on fire' when we rang him last Sunday morning for a report on the match against Sileby Rangers.
But it had nothing to do with his side suffering a second successive defeat 24 hours earlier.
It was more to do with the fact that he'd set the smoke alarm off by burning his bacon!
He's off his trolley
THERE were some unusual sightings at Milton Golf Club on Sunday morning.
First there was a UFO on the first tee which on closer inspection turned out to be a bleary-eyed Neil Brown.
Neil has never been an early bird but due to a set of unfortunate family commitments was forced to play his weekend round of golf at the unearthly hour (to him) of 8.30am - the first occasion since he was a child that he'd ever been conscious at that time on a Sunday.
Then Richard Tyner, an Irishman nicknamed 'Father Ted', was twice spotted charging down the fairway like a madman - first to retrieve his umbrella that was being blown towards the lake and then later in pursuit of his electric trolley, which he'd forgotten to switch off while taking a shot!
In the doghouse . . .
BRIAN Joyce, the ancient Newborough Cricket Club all-rounder, was 69 years-old on Wednesday.
And lots of family and friends popped round to see the old boy and wish him 'happy birthday'.
Surprisingly, Ron Titman, his old drinking buddy and dominoes partner, wasn't one of them.
"He's got the hump," explained Brian, "because the last time he came round to see me my dog ate his hearing-aid!"
