Skippy on the box

[melia]

just watching the build up to tonight's games and Craig Johnston is the guest. Dunno why but I'm really shocked by how much he has aged. Guess we're all getting old.

[Nebraska Red]

where's the hair gone?

 

I hope he has a pony tail.

[Crazy Horse]

Looks like he's turning into Francis Rossi.

[ajams]

I can confirm he does have a ponytail. He's not a bad pundit either.

Was talking sense about the ball the other night

when all shearer wanted to do was joke around

 

Seedorf's piece on the ball was quite good too i thought

[Tosh]

I hate the man

 

It's his fault that I can't nip down the local supermarket and fill my hotel mini-bar fridge with bought in beers. Move anything in one of Skippy's fridges and the hotel stings you for it, or at least tries.

was all that his idea? I did that on a company Christmas do in that London. When I checked out the next morning they tried to bill me another £300+ saying I had taken everything out of the minibar. I said that's correct but if you want to send someone up to the room you will find everything is back in there. More to the point what the f*** is a corgi red london bus doing in a fridge in the first place. Don't they know that us Northeners are savvy? And if they'd of bothered to check properly the minutres had been opened and filled back up with water or piss depending on what spirit it was!!

It's mentioned on his Wiki but this is from the Design Museum website

 

Q. Do you only design football boots or other products too? Do you see yourself specifically as a football boot designer or as a designer?

 

A. I do design other products and to this end set up and financed a business with the Irish Development authority called Johnston Research and Developments about 10 years ago. I have designed and patented a Minibar System and Software for hotel bedrooms called the Butler. We have a factory in Shannon, Ireland and have sold more than 20,000 units. I see myself as a photographer and inventor who just happens to know and love football boots.

 

and this from a website flogging speechmaking services

 

In 1994 he invented and patented the hotel mini bar shelving system called 'The Butler'. A distribution deal with Granada Business technologies has seen the system and software installed in over 10,000 hotel rooms in Great Britain and Ireland. He also developed 'Supaskills', a universal skills measurement and ratings standard for multi-sport applications. The football skills and measurement controls have been developed in conjunction with FIFA. Craig was nominated as the favourite to win the Design Museum's 'Designer of the Year' prize in 2004 for the design of his latest boot, 'The Pig', which he has developed as a successor to the 'Predator'.

Wembley 1986, he almost killed himself trying to get the faintest touch on Rushy's shot just as it crossed the line, could have very possibly had it ruled out for offside had he managed to touch it.

 

Since that day I've never liked the fella.

 

Oh that, and his ridiculous haircut.
