From Buzaglo to Balis !!!
#1
Hearing a few whispers on Twitter that book named Buzaglo to Balis is being written by no more than Chris Lepkowski the ex Brum mail writer,
Not hundred percent sure it's him soley but he is talking some part in it,
There's a few quotes from different people especially about players who let the club down and he's throwing snippets out on to Twitter with the important names missing,
I'll post a few as they post them, a couple have been worked out , a lot are wrong as the Twitter account points out,
Should be fun for a while,I'll post a couple shortly
Beefy

1/ ...He turned up in black jeans, a scruffy t-shirt & his cap all askew, sat there with his legs dangling over the side of the f***ing chair. He was a right state. If I’d been more experienced I’d have said thanks but no thanks. I shouldn’t have signed him..."
Gary Megson #wba

2/ "...I can’t just blame one player for a 5-1 defeat. That whole thing was ridiculous. We had people trying to find him, but nobody could get hold of him. Would *** have made a big difference to that score? I suspect not. But it was hugely embarrassing..."
Denis Smith #wba

3/ "...I didn't want a big car. I wasn't a racing driver. I bought a Fiat Panda because it was me. What kind of 18-year-old turns up in a BMW or Mercedes before he has played a 1st team game? I was ***** the West Bromwich footballer, not ***** the BMW driver..." #wba

4/ “…Then the waitress goes over with two of the biggest cod & chips I’ve ever seen; the cod was hanging off the bloody plates. I couldn’t believe it. It’s a couple of nights before the Wolves match & these 2 Wednesday players are in the pub. I was going mad...”
Gary Megson #wba
** No answer to this as yet !!

5/ “...Alan Buckley? Bloody hell, I'm going to need another pint first. I remember going into his office and asking him: ‘Why the f*** do you keep buying Grimsby players? We are West Bromwich Albion. This is embarrassing'..." ???

6/ …We saw these fans carrying a coffin past the hotel window with a photo of Bobby attached – all the lads were sat there nudging each other going ‘bloody hell, look at that’. Bobby stood up and said ‘right lads, today we’re going to walk to the ground’…” ????

7/ “...I got there in the morning and before lunch they already told me they wanted me. I had decided the night before... This was the club I wanted. They didn’t need to sell the club to me. I knew what Albion was... ???

8/ "...First game I parked on some dog-rough car park. A young lad came up & said 'can you sign his please?' His dad leaned over & said 'aye...get him to sign that quickly because he'll be going the same way as the others.' One of the papers had '******* who?' But I think I did ok...

To be fair, it seems impossible to guess a lot of these at a glance, which may be why no one's had a go. 6 is obviously about Bobby Gould, and 2 is probably about someone who should have played in the 5-1 defeat against Crewe, but that was a long time ago. If you know some of the answers and could throw out the odd clue, it might invite some more guesses.

One is tough,I'm trying to figure out how I can give clues out without giving it away,
Gary Megson era ,was pretty tall and would say didn't play that many games, not a fans favourite, surname begins with M ...

Two is interesting really I remember it well and I'm sure everyone will remember the black players name that didn't turn up Whistle

Four as I say no answers yet, number three with one clue would be easy, so not sure what I can give,however was a exceptional talent,fans favourite,only here for a season then sold abroad for around £4 million , a poor squad he was the shinning light and funded Sir Gary's rebuild with his transfer.

Five bit of a giveaway, skipper at the time.

Six not sure yet
Seven were talking manager.

Eight manager also.

Forget 4 didn't realize Sir Gary was talking about Sheff Weds player's.
Six just found out who he is and this guy went on to be a successful assistant manager and still is Thumb up

Oh, it was Fabian De Freitas who missed that match! For some reason I had it in my head that it was a different one he was a no-show for, but now I remember. Div thought it was an evening kick-off Laugh

1. Lee Marshall?
3. Enzo

One had slightly more impact than the other!

Number 5, if I recall correctly, Buckley sold Darren Bradley in '95, so Mike Phelan was skipper for a while, then Captain Mardon International took the armband. I think Bradders left before Buckley started turning us into Grimsby, and I can't imagine Phelan being that arsed about it, so my guess would be Paul Mardon.
