RIP He was on one of those celebrity weight loss shows a few years ago. He was by far the biggest guy on it. He said he’d drink 40 bottles of beer a day. They we’re doing the week one weigh ins and the other we’re putting in big weight losses, they were building up Andy. He gets on the scales and…. not an ounce. They were all completely dumbfounded how he didn’t lose any weight. He was obviously cheating somehow, can’t remember if he admitted it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightoffyour Posted July 15, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted July 15, 2021 He did lose loads of weight and tried to make a darts comeback but he couldn't throw properly without his (full size) belly. Don't know if he put it back on after that but he was still big and the damage has already been done anyway it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 33. I am devastated to hear about this. Dawn was a journalist worth reading - which is frankly not many of them - and while she was critical of the government she did the work beforehand; she wrote loads of stuff on social housing and domestic abuse and so on that was really well researched in policy terms. Also not going to forget that the Guardian sacked her for writing a column that was critical of Tom Watson, an absurdly petty thing to do. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’ll be remembered mainly for his time at Coventry, but in his time at VP he gave us everything he’d got at a difficult time for the club. A gentleman off the pitch, but a real hard man on it. Not many like him these days. RIP George. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
