He recognised me one day as I did a delivery to his school. He was on playground duty and saw me unloading food for the kitchen. Came over for a brief chat.<br />I met his brother Pat when I was living in London and taking part at a charity event at the old White City Stadium. I asked Pat for his autograph. He recognised my accent and we discussed Northern Ireland and Coleraine in particular. He asked my name.<br />I was home a few weeks later at the Showgrounds after a game, in the social club. Brian came up to me and said "Here, our Pat says you and him were doing charity work in London together...." <br />I said to Brian " Oh yeah, , for the British Heart Foundation at the White City...."<br />My mates stood there, in silence, gob smacked that I had been with Pat Jennings, the Norn Iron keeper and had said nothing to them.<br />Brian said" Pat sends his regards to you. Was nice to meet someone from the oul country at the charity event he said"<br />That was Brian "Arkle" Jennings, a down to earth, lovely guy<br />I was ribbed the whole way home by my mates<br />A fan of Brian "Arkle" Jenningshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13435337713413992050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31083125.post-40859710477228643442017-06-14T20:53:47.152+00:002017-06-14T20:53:47.152+00:00Played golf with this man today ..a real gentlema...Played golf with this man today ..a real gentleman ....and he beat me !Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00419534410138921318noreply@blogger.com
