"How Would You Sum Up His Nutshell?" - Gary Richardson (inserting foot into mouth, again, on Radio 5 Live)

Bill Lawrance vs. Des Harney 

Thursday 16th July, 2018 

A supposed "Friendly" fixture, played at Colne Radio studios, Wivenhoe, Essex - 8 pm k-o

My nutshell is perfectly sound, Gary; but many thanks for asking! You can check for yourselves AND get more than your fill of anecdotes from Enfield Town, Fulham FC, Rwanda, the Caribbean islands, the Fenner's Cricket Ground, this summer's FIFA World Cup, Italia '90 - and MUCH else, besides - as your favourite sporting Pharaoh moves into the no-holds-barred, combative, dog-eat-dog arena of live radio. Listen to this special edition of the famous "Box 39" show at the following link: Hear "The Fabulous Football Pharaoh" - Un-boxed, Unmasked & Dangerous(?)

"Ambushed", at the tail-end of a recent 'road trip' and during what had hitherto been anticipated as a purely social visit to Colchester, The Fabulous Football Pharaoh was compelled to give up many of the deepest, darkest, well-kept secrets from his secretive sporting and professional past. Darn those unsurpassed, incisive and wily interviewing skills of Colne Radio's most investigative reporter. In fact, on reflection, on no account should you listen to the wide-ranging and entertaining radio show to be found at that link. If you do, I may have to kill you ... before I lose my Double-O licence!

Bill was recently described to me, incidentally, as "a young, cool biker dude" ... by somebody who clearly didn't know him very well - eh, Emma?! Meanwhile, for avid Football Pharaoh fans, more detailed coverage of Enfield Town Football Club's exploits is on the verge of re-commencing. Just hold onto your thingies for a little while longer and you WILL be fully satisfied - or your money back!
