The Campaign to bring back French Connection..!

[LBNo11]

...I'm sorry mon pote, but FC Silver Fox does not roll off the tongue, and you are our (only?) connection with the strike inflicted, fuel bereft, pongy cheesed land of the shoulder shrug - ergo, you are the French Connection...

[The Equalizer]

I quite like Silver Fox. It's kind of distinguished and manages to distance Monsieur Connection from the rest of the garlic eating surrender monkeys.

I much prefer his old moniker, but we could just call him crap cheese.

[White Noise]

I'm glad someone has brought this up cos I can't get on with the new image either. Didn't it get changed on the last board because the words 'French Connection' didn't fit the box? I have never met the great man but I have always pictured him like this -



rather than like this -

[FC Silver Fox]

Cheers Fredster  (LOL).  FC Silver Fox means French Connection Silver Fox.
The only reason I changed it was that it was truncated in all my postings. If JC finds a solution that leaves French Connection as a complete handle, I'd be happy to go back to it.

He's a top man pretty much whatever he chooses to call himself. :Sparkyticus: At least he is not calling himself Golden Delicious (after the apples which are anything but)! :011:

I am sure I saw Mr FC the other night on the news, torching some poor bugger's Citroen.

He is a proper yob Burt, he even gets up during wedding speeches singing stand up if you hate Chelsea.

[FC Silver Fox]

You're right, it was me. Trouble is, I was so wasted that I torched my OWN Citroen. I wouldn't mind too much but it had a FoF bumper sticker on the back.

...a classic moment, but if memory serves it wasn't...oh, I see..!

As this is a friendly forum and not a clique, we are talking about American Mike and Miss Witch 2's wedding. I made a short speech, raised a toast and read out personal tributes that had been sent to the happy couple from Jimmy Conway, Leggy, John Collins, Ken Coton, Cookie (Fulham manager at the time), Craig Hutchinson and this wonderful poem written by Corked Hat, then known as the Fulham bard.

There is a sweetness in the wintry air
People feel it everywhere
When two people become just one
And their lives together has now begun

From different shores but a common thread
Is how these two people have come to wed
And we of Fulham know its right
Because there it is, in black and white

Greetings to you both from a distant shore
Mike and Katy, you both know the score
We need a left back and a midfielder or two
So my friends you know what to do

Our need is great so please no slacking
Think of Fulham and just get cracking
Come on, it really isn't that hard
All my love from a delighted Bard.
