THE UNDERTAKER AND HIZ APPRENTICE!

Updated 'high noon bells' Wednesday 30th July 2014

A'v just published mee two story's on the groundhoppin' travels of John 'The Undertaker' and Liam 'from the Lamp'.
I have travelled with 'The Undertaker' for many years aall ower the UK and Europe watchin' The Toon and more recently with Liam, who I had known for just two years.

Liam waz reeely gettin' into the 'groundhoppin scene' and had been with me to ridiculous places like Sporz trainin' groond in London to watch the resorves and Carrington, the trainin' groond of Man U to watch wor juniors in action! (when the advertisin' boards 'invaded' the pitch!)

'The Undertaker' had amased an amazin' 332 or 333 different groonds (I'm not sure?) watchin' The Toon and Liam at 35 years hiz junior, waz hiz 'apprentice'!

Yesterday aa did the trip to Madeira , just off the north African coast from two years ago, when I mistakenleee ate John's veggy meal while he waz asleep on the plane comin' home!
And today a'v published the Man U 'advertisin' board pitch invasion' story!


RIP John and Liam---Yoo will NEVER be forgotten by us!

PS: John 'The Undertaker' waz aalso (allegedly!?) known by anothaa name! (see below!)
