Fat Sam interview

[Clarence Beeks]

Sorry for starting a new thread. I couldn't find the one for his twitter page. When I read this I thought the guy who does the twitter account gave this interview but it turns out to be the man himself.

 

The Dugout - 60 seconds with Sam Allardyce - Yahoo! Eurosport

 

Big Sam lifts the lid on his years as a dead ringer for Tom Selleck, and reveals who would be picking the wine at his dream dinner party.

 

 

What was your first car?

 

A Ford Cortina. It was made in 1963. It was bought with my hard-earned cash that I'd saved since I started playing football at 15. I saved every penny I possibly could to buy my first car, which was about £125.

 

60 seconds is trying to do the maths on what that would be worth now, but its head hurts. What is you earliest sporting memory?

 

From playing it would be the header I scored for my school team to win the cup, which was my junior school team. From watching sport, it would be going to see Wolverhampton Wanderers for the very first time. Standing on the North Bank with my brother and my dad and then knowing that all I ever wanted to be was a professional footballer.

 

If you weren't a footballer, what career would you have gone into?

 

I don't know, actually. That's something I can't really answer. I think, whatever I would have done, I would have been self-employed. I would have had to have been my own boss. I couldn't have coped someone telling me what to do and what time I should be where.

 

Which team do you most enjoy beating and why?

 

I think as a manager it was, particularly at Bolton, to get wins on a consistent basis against the likes of Arsenal and Liverpool particularly.

 

What is on your iPod (if you even have one)?

 

I do have an iPod, and an iPad as well now. I am constantly trying to keep up to speed with the ever changing world of technology. It staggers me to find out how younger people just take to it, when it takes me about 10 times as long to get to grips with the same thing! As for music, my time was Motown, so I have a lot of that, and my favourite band of all time is Queen.

 

Is that what you would sing at Karaoke?

 

Yes. 'We Are The Champions'.

 

Have you ever been mistaken for someone else who is famous?

 

Yes, I have. When I played in America, I was sporting a great big moustache at the time. I was often likened to Tom Selleck.

 

You didn't complain about that too much, did you?

 

No, I didn't. I didn't have his car though!

 

If you could have a dinner party with three people dead or alive - who would you pick?

 

Nelson Mandela, Muhammad Ali and Sir Alex Ferguson. Sir Alex would pick the wine, and I would pick the food.

 

What would be on the menu?

 

Well, in these politically correct times I would be sure to ask about their dietary needs. Something traditionally English, quality, well-cooked food.

[Frankenhooker]

He really is a walking caricature. Silly twat.

[lifetime fan]

That has got to be a piss take.

[Dan]

i hate that fucking idiot...shite manager aswell

[redsoxs]

The lad on twitter will have ball with that...

[Reacher]

Dick head, Slur can pick the wine and I can suck him off before I get a good seeing to!

[gkmacca]

Sir Alex would pick the wine, and I would pick the food.

 

 

He'd never pick the food. He'd grab all of it and ram it down his own mouth in one great greedy action.

[Bubble]

Are we 100% sure the guy on twitter isn't actually Sam?

[robslappa]

That's hilarious.

 

Life imitating art.

[Carradona]

Couldn't give a fuck. I hope the cunt eats his own head.

Fucking hell, it is the twitter fat sam.

[Reacher]

Couldn't give a fuck. I hope the cunt eats his own head.

 

I'd boil it for him.

[William_Ulsterman]

i thought that was a piss-take by The_FatSam

 

Whiskey nose and the wine made me laugh.

[sh#t waffle]

Could only have been made better if he'd said:

 

Well, in these politically correct times I suppose I'd have to cook them jerk bloody chicken or a bloody gazelle.

[Sandman]

 

Well, in these politically correct times I would be sure to ask about their dietary needs.

 

 

 

 

No you fat fuck, it's common courtesy.

[Seamus]

[/i]

 

Childish and obvious but how the interviewer didn't remove the 'else' I've no idea

[moof]

That's the best interview i've ever read. I'm in tears here. Imagine fat sam chowing down with mandela and ali. That would be the best episode of come dine with me ever

[torahboy]

Sam would want to be his 'own boss' and couldn't have anyone telling him telling him what he should do and what time he should be were. He must have sacked himself at Newcastle and Blackburn then.

[RoboRiise]

Brilliant, Sam and the twitter Sam have finally merged into a single entity. If that's not a wind up, it shows just how good a parody the twitter one is.

I disagree, the twitter Sam couldn't dream of coming out with some of the stuff fat Sam has the last few months.

[Anubis]

Nelson Mandela coped with the psychological burden of 27 years in prison. But I'll wager that he'd be trying to slit his wrists with the butterknife after 5 minutes in the company of Fat Sam and Fergie.

[Captain Turdseye]

I don't really go on twitter but just went on and read a few of the big sams posts. Superb.

[Gym Beglin]

In these politically correct times...

 

Ha, fucking quality, and then feeling like he has to pick Mandela and Ali as dinner guests, why not go the whole hog and invite Rosa Parks and Malcolm X, you fucking beaut.

Awesome line-up for dinner there, Ali, Mandela, Ferguson. I bet if he ranked them he'd put Ferguson first as well.

[RedinSweden]

I think as a manager it was, particularly at Bolton, to get wins on a consistent basis against the likes of Arsenal and Liverpool particularly.

 

Hmm, lets have a look at that shall we. Fat Sham's record against Liverpool in the Premier League with Bolton, Newcastle and Blackburn.

Bolton

Played 12. Won 3. Drawn 3. Lost 6

 

Newcastle

Played 1. Won 0. Drawn 0. Lost 1.

 

Blackburn

Played 4. Won 0. Drawn 1. Lost 3.

 

Which gives a grand total of:

 

Played 17

Won 3

Drawn 4

Lost 10

 

Goals for 15

Goals against 28

Looking at that I think he meant to say

legend in his own mind.
