Norris Cole 0 Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 "You were Cheshire-born and Somerset raised. How on earth did you end up supporting Chelsea?" "As a lad I followed Chelsea & Glasgow Rangers and I still have a great fondness for both sides" Interviewed in this month's FourFourTwo magazine. Gaun yersel Beefy. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tannochsidebear 2,322 Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I didn't think Beefy could get any higher up in my estimation. My all-time favourite cricketer, and only now I find out he is a blue-nose as well. Might be worth a purchase of said mag now. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza_8 233 Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 He never really answered the question by the interviewer. :fish: 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I'm surprised we haven't heard before now that he's a Rangers fan unless he hasn't been to Ibrox for a good while. He's a big fly fisherman as well & comes up to Scotland a lot for trout & salmon fishing. He started his own fishing program on Discovery Realtime a while back, but I don't know if it's still running or not as I don't watch TV. I did see what I think was the first in the series & he was trout fishing with his friend Eric Clapton. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure where he fishes but he's often to be seen in pubs down Callander way apparently. I remember two or three World Cups ago (cricket) he was asked for his views on the Scotland team: "Love the people, love the whisky, love the fishing........but no" 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was getting myself mixed up with this thread and the John Barnes one. :fish: 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They weren't team captains at the same time though McCoist was on it as a guest quite a bit during the Beefy/Beaumont era. I'd imagine Super and Beefy would get on pretty well. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
