I once took a girl on a date to watch Saints v Fulham ( I think ) at The Dell, we sat in the East Stand, the girl in question spent the whole game screaming at Rufus and demanding we stayed behind after so she could meet him as she thought he was 'lush' .

 

I never saw the girl again.

 

A mate of mine also runs the King Rufus in Chandlers Ford.

 

Does anyone else have any Rufus stories?

 

I have lots of fuschias called Rufus.

The nightmare begins if these guys are within a million miles of St. Marys. They will make Rupert Lowe look like Mother Theresa.

 

I particularly like this translation from a Portuguese website:

 

"The British company, Southern Cross, no longer exists and its director, Bruce Anderson and his associate, Jorge Rubenstein, are being investigated by the Fraud Department of the New Scotland Yard. Southern Cross was responsible for numerous frauds in the UK and to get funds for committing these frauds, Bruce Anderson and Jorge Rubenstein fabricated documents with false information and even when questioned in British courts, Bruce Anderson vowed them to be true under oath, which constitutes a very serious crime, but both Bruce Anderson and Jorge Rubenstein, are free and clear from punishment. In fact, Jorge Rubenstein is at this moment engaged in transactions of Portuguese players to the UK."

 

Let's hope Southampton Football Company Limited is not a front to buy our club.

get out of here! i've been to basingstoke soon, does anybody have a basingstoke story?

I managed to detain his son Maurice Macmillan for 20 minutes when he was door knocking as the Conservative candidate for the constituency in which I lived.

 

I thereby managed to stop him possibly persuading others to vote for him. It took him 20 minutes to notice my fine collection of Trade Union posters in my hallway before he (very politely) brought our conversation to an end.

Oh fook.

I read the earlier article you put up which suggested the deal had gone through (Note to Mirror readers....its full of ****) and was wondering how they could have stakes in two clubs as i thought this was against FA regulations.

 

Lets just hope there are other seriously interested parties out there

all true.

 

What number am I thinking of dude?

 

Sixty-nine, dude!

 

Just think what we could do with a telephone box with a guitar stuck on top. I'd vote to go back and steal MLT, Claus, Killer, Terry and Micky just in time for the Burnley match...

 

No wait, no one else is picking up on these references.

Same postcode, but name instead of number, could be a regus building or something like that

 

 

I worked for Highcross in the 80's. The bloke who took me on was Nigel Howe who is now Chief Executive of Reading. Perhaps they are thinking of buying a big club ?

I played against the man himself in the Heathrow Village 5-a-side Tournament in the summer. We knocked his team out, he looked very much past his sell-by-date, he was blowing out his arse.

 

He was also accompanied to the tournament by a rather orange looking, ageing WAG.

[benjii]

Wasn't he playing for Charlton at SMS the other week?

 

Sorry, sorry.... my mistake.

 

That was Linvoy Primus. Skate bastard.

Sorry, that's ********. That's what happens when you forget you are on a netbook! He's in the second row, standing behind the woman in the beige coat. the sideboards are the clincher.

 

Do I win a prize.... do "I get my club back"?!?

It's the guy wearing the blue shirt and dark suit, he's looking right and the flybe.com corporate box sign is inline with him. The guy to his left is wearing the same suit and shirt. Could be him?????

He has walked amongst them yes!

 

A few of the QPR players had houses in one of the most nortorious, ahem, so called, "pikey" areas of Owlsmoor (nr Silver Hill). Couldn't possibly comment meself, being a local n all. ;-)

 

We all found it quite amusing at the time.

 

Which was also about the same time this film was having a silly, yet profound, effect on me and my teenage mates.

 

Interesting Basingstoke is almost EXACTLY half way between Owlsmoor and St.Mary's Stadium.

 

Could it ALL just be coincidence?

 

Yes.

 

Any more coincidence stories?

 

Sorry, I mean takeover theories?

Does the name Mike Diamandis mean anything to anyone? All I can find is reference to Swindon Town from a couple of years ago, and that he knows Richard Dunwoody...

Well, if Southampton Football Club Ltd is to be our saviour, I hope this bloke has a spare million or two in his sky rocket, cos I'm guessing Rufus Brevett isn't the money man...

Reading through all this stuff on Swindon & Tranmere takeover deals, this Portuguese mob sound decidedly dodgy to me and the Rubenstein fella sounds like a Portuguese version of Rupert Lowe combined with Arfur Daily.... No thanks big time to that!!!

I think you're comparing with the wrong chap Pancake....? I thought people were pointing out the chap with the open neck blue shirt and jacket (about 3cm left and 3cm up from the chap above, facing to the right....?).

 

Could be wrong. Could be right.

I think that could be him. presumably GM can put us out of our misery?

My mate in Belgium used to have a (boxer) dog called Rufus. Big, ugly, aggressive b@stard it was too !!

Frightened all the kids and the neighbours but personally I liked it more than Rupert Lowe !

Dead now, BTW !

Rufus was also the name of a small dog in a film with Cameron Diaz.

Although in the book on which it was based I think the dog was named

differently.

The lead singer of local band "Rufus Stone" had , until recently, been the landlord at The Blue Keys in Northlands Road, which was for many of us, the pre-match boozer before going to the Dell.
