Turkish Posted 2 May, 2010 Posted 2 May, 2010 thirsty Hirsty! What a player he could have been if it wasn't for injuries and his love of the beer. Rumour has it Fergie tried to sign him 5 times for Man U and when he couldn't get him turned to a certain frenchman instead....

Seem to recall it was a head to head race between him and Shearer for the England No9 shirt for a while.
benjii Posted 2 May, 2010 Author Posted 2 May, 2010 Wasn't his knee injury caused by his liver growing down his leg and putting pressure on it?

Yep, you are correct, funny how they both snubbed Man U, as did Gazza, i bet hirst and Gazza regret it, they could have been superb with Fergie watching over them.

markr27 Posted 2 May, 2010 Posted 2 May, 2010 Cannot stand that Mark Bright - that Sheff Wed player "only had a little cut on his toe, why did he go off?" rrrr. Because it was likely to have been dislocated and was hanging off at a weird angle. Did you not see the pain and anguish on his face man. A pundit completely out of his depth.

It's the million miles an hour verbal diarrhoea delivery that grates with me -wish he would just shut the f*ck up!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry I thought you were talking about Jamie Redknapp for a moment there. Tis a good game apart from the commentary.

LA77 Posted 2 May, 2010 Posted 2 May, 2010 talking of ex players putting weight on; did anyone see Shipperley on TV the other day?
benjii Posted 2 May, 2010 Author Posted 2 May, 2010 Reminded me a bit of when Winterburn started on Di Canio, Di Canio went to clock him and Winterburn shat himself.

Saintandy666 Posted 2 May, 2010 Posted 2 May, 2010 Why are so many clubs so excited about coming to play us? :S I can maybe just about understand Bournemouth singing it, but Sheffield Wednesday?!

It might just be the only ground name that fits as well, everybody hated Nottingham Forest, not because they did but it was just a good fit to the old "We hate Nottingham Forest, we hate ***** too etc
Junction 9 Posted 2 May, 2010 Posted 2 May, 2010 Does anyone other than me remember Hirst taking the p*ss out of Allesandro Pistone at the Dell years ago. He was getting treatment for a nothing tackle and Hirst was immitating him putting on makeup and doing his hair. Pistone actually found it funny.
corsacar saint Posted 2 May, 2010 Posted 2 May, 2010 David Hirst was a class finisher, who if it was not for injuries,would have probably won a medal or two at Manchester United.
Paul Chuckle Posted 2 May, 2010 Posted 2 May, 2010 Didn't Hirst bang in 2 on his home debut against Spurs at The Dell in a 3-2 win? Remember being year 10 of School when we signed him for 2Mil and was so excited, my mate was a Sheff Weds fan and was gutted when we signed him.

My boss mentioned this the other day and said it's quite shocking to see. Shipps was always the chubstick but this is taking it too far: The funny thing is, when you type his name in Google, the second suggested result is "Neil Shipperley fat"
Badger Posted 2 May, 2010 Posted 2 May, 2010 Rory said: Shipps was always the chubstick but this is taking it too far: I seem to recall his league debut,for Chelsea, at TheDell and he looked very athletic then.Although he was probably only 18 at the time. That photo looks in the dangerously obese fat f^cker range than just 'chubby'.That is fat bastard in the Mickey Quinn proportions.
CB Fry Posted 2 May, 2010 Posted 2 May, 2010 That doesn't look anything like Neil Shipperley. It does, however, look like someone who has eaten Neil Shipperley.

Jackie@home Posted 3 May, 2010 Posted 3 May, 2010 He's only stopped playing 5 years ago. Just shows you how being fat ages you. If he carries on like this, he'll turn into Larry Lloyd, the fattest ex-footballer I've seen. (You have to be old enough.)

corsacar saint Posted 3 May, 2010 Posted 3 May, 2010 Are people on here incapable of staying on a particular thread. What has Neil Shipperley go to do with David Hirst. I already know they both played for Saints,and are carrying a few extra pounds. Then I am sure some of you on here,will tell me I have answered my own question, If you do you will totally be missing the point of my question.
benjii Posted 3 May, 2010 Author Posted 3 May, 2010 Let me answer this... It is my thread. When I started it I hoped for an enjoyable conversation prompted by Hirst's girth but not necessarily exclusively focussed on it. I am happy that other girths have also featured.
