whelk Posted 11 October, 2014 Share Posted 11 October, 2014 Does he still have occasions where he windmills his arm when happy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alehouseboys Posted 11 October, 2014 Share Posted 11 October, 2014 He's obviously a big Saints fan now but you could ask him who he supported as a kid growing up in Wiltshire, we nicked him as a youngster from under the noses of Swindon Town. Was that his team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was that his team? If you read his biographies (a good place to start EBS 1980) you would know his Dad often took him to The Dell where his first hero was Derek Reeves.

Coastal Saint Posted 11 October, 2014 Share Posted 11 October, 2014 Please ask him why he has never had an honour of any kind. It has always puzzled me why a man who has been a great in two sports was never even given an MBE. In my eyes he should be Sir Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostBoys Posted 11 October, 2014 Share Posted 11 October, 2014 The racing fraternity regard him as an upstart apparently and have a 'didn't he play football' attitude towards him. They do not like it when he keeps winning compared to the 'established' trainers. This does not excuse the football side though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also remember seeing him is a carriage with her at Ascot. Surely a sign that he is highly regarded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmel Posted 11 October, 2014 Share Posted 11 October, 2014 That is not the case. He is very well respected in the industry. I don't know anything about the industry, but my understanding was the same as yours, that he was held in very high regard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david in sweden Posted 11 October, 2014 Share Posted 11 October, 2014 Mick was with Saints for about 15 years before McMenemy moved him on (the first time).....but with all his England connections ...did anyone " tap him up " to leave the Dell and move to a "BIG" club? However, he was loyal and stayed all that time ....so what was motivation in NOT moving ? .....and how is his relationship to Lawrie Mac nowadays ?

dubai_phil Posted 11 October, 2014 Share Posted 11 October, 2014 When he next comes over to Dubai with one of his Horses could you ask him if he'd like to join the Dubai Saints group for a beer/watch a game/Dark Side tour? @Dubai Saints on Twitter Thanks Serious question. When he was still playing what was his favourite local Race Day Out? Newbury Salisbury or that place where you had to drive past the skates to get to?

FreemantleSaint Posted 12 October, 2014 Share Posted 12 October, 2014 Is it true that the early 70's team which he was a part of used to have a drink in the Fitzhugh/Corner Post pub of a Saturday lunchtime before home games?? And which of the 2014/15 Saints side would have best fitted in with the early 80's side in terms of ability, playing style, character etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
