Pompey Repatriated Posted July 22, 2018 Report Share Posted July 22, 2018 The whole Tinotenda Chibharo story has to be one of the strangest relating to killie. What other episodes are up there? The two Nigerians was a strange one. Papa Idris was actually about 60 and rumoured to have no knee cartilage. Gabriel looked more promising but swiftly disappeared only turn up at WC with Nigeria! Classic example of a certain former chairman seeing £££signs. MJ's all expenses paid holiday to Italy claiming it was to forge links. Simon Ford signing as a gardener. Thousands (myself included) going to a reserve game to watch two African(?) signings Ngonge not wanting number 9 shirt in respect of Wright but Shaun Hessey not having any such hangups 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skygod Posted July 22, 2018 Report Share Posted July 22, 2018 (edited) There was the criminality involving John Walker, a loanee from St Mirren, who was charged after assaulting a fan while leaving the pitch. MJ's father-in-law, Peter "Ma Ba'" McKennan of Partick Thistle, also ended up in court after assaulting Freddie Milloy in the tunnel at RP. Kenny Brannigan, who headbutted former team-mate Derek Cook after two minutes of a match, was sent off and sacked before the afternoon was out. Bobby Houston didn't last even two minutes after coming on as sub against his old club and being sent off. I'm surprised that Kosygin didn't mention the visit by his namesake - the modern-day equivalent would be Vladimir Putin rolling up at RP!

Hawkeye the Gnu Posted July 22, 2018 Report Share Posted July 22, 2018 The lad Gibson (forget his first name) who was signed from Partick. Came on as a sub the next week....against Partick, to a great ovation. Then left the pitch two minutes later having been sent off for assaulting one of their players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skygod Posted July 22, 2018 Report Share Posted July 22, 2018 (edited) It was Bobby Houston,. as mentioned above! Thinking of fracas with supporters, wasn't John McVeigh involved in one behind the stand at RP? Edited July 22, 2018 by skygod 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skygod Posted July 22, 2018 Report Share Posted July 22, 2018 (edited) RP being well filled for the filming of a movie, A Shot At Glory, and the number of "takes" it took for Andy Smith to score a goal! https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0193854/?ref_=nv_sr_1 - check out the cast list. Also involving McCoist, when Noel Edmonds performed one of his Gotcha! stunts at RP. Edited July 22, 2018 by skygod 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

virtuocity Posted July 22, 2018 Report Share Posted July 22, 2018 Great thread. Would be useful not to just list the event/incident but to explain it too for those who cannot recall. Can't remember Ally's 'gotcha'. He looked a right mardy arse- probably because the joke was on him rather than the other way around, but also a really pish, uninventive gag by Edmonds 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How that guy was ever popular is beyond me. Three bizarre things I remember were the goal from Hamish McAlpine (for Raith think), the game where the wind was so strong that goal kicks were being blown back for corners and, sadly, the 8-1 disaster v Sevco where Jim Brown let practically every shot squirm through his hands into the net. You should never, ever lose 8 goals at home! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerome asked in the Park Suite if he could have a table for Christmas Day as his family were coming from France. On the day, he came in and picked up a table to take back to his flat! I believe that's the story anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuncanEwart Posted July 22, 2018 Report Share Posted July 22, 2018 Game at Brockville delayed during the 2nd half due to a bomb scare in the stand. Players on the pitch, supporters on the pitch, Killie up 1-0 and nobody thinking we could all be blown to bits. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a1killiefan Posted July 22, 2018 Report Share Posted July 22, 2018 (edited) Another Jerome tale. He frequented the old Hospitality Inn and tried to chat up the new reception girl. He even used her name when talking to her but he wasn't getting anywhere. He had gotten her name from her badge. It said "Trainee".
