I think some of the lads on the Boro Facebook group know him, pretty sure I saw an image of him signing someone's ZDS final shirt not too long ago

#LowTarMatthaus Next up is Stanley Pierce, a marauding English fullback, known for his silky first touch and a propensity to cut in from the left whenever he gets forward. Stan started his career at Macclesfield Town, making well over 200 league appearances, before later joining Sheffield United. 🚬
A football player in full kit seen from the front and the back. The name set on the shirt is Pierce and the squad number is 3. The strip design is based on Silk Cut cigarettes and has their logo as the kit sponsor. The logo for the kit manufacturer is a pair of lungs and the club badge is the type of royal crest usually found on most cigarette packets. The name set and number have been cut out of the white shirt to reveal a purple silk underlay, similar to the Silk Cut adverts of the 1980's.

#LowTarMatthaus - Next up is Portuguese winger Filipe Luque... or Luque No.7 as he's known to his teammates. Described as a bit of a 'hit-and-hope' merchant by opposition defences and managers, his cross-come-shot speculative efforts have made him top scorer for his club for the last 5 seasons. 🚬

#LowTarMatthaus - First name on the team sheet is Darko Pakov, my preference is for each player to have a little back story tbh. I reckon our man here is a tough tackling Macedonian Enforcer who has no time for modern training methods or conditioning. 🚬

Hey John, loving the packet choice, i'm intentionally trying to keep the players fictitious though. I'm building up a backlog of suggestions, so those No.6's are certainly in there 👍

NEW PROJECT - #LowTarMatthaus - I've finally decided to double down on this personal project and give it the attention it deserves. Suggestions, collaborators and those that deal in the currency of 'exposure' are all welcome.
An open packet of a fictitious brand of cigarettes called Low Tar Matthaus (a play on words of ex German Midfielder Lothar Matthäus). The packet is accompanied by two Surgeon General Warnings. The first says "Warning: This project contains references to smoking and football kits, both of which can cause addiction" the second says "Caution: Both football and smoking can increase risks to your physical, mental and financial well-being". This is a cover image to the project that will be used to anchor all subsequent posts.

Pedantry never rests on social media, I was once 'pulled up' on the fact I'd used the incorrect style / year of boot on a player

Extraordinary moment during miners’ strike when police and pickets forgot hostilities and played football. Nottinghamshire, March 1984, photo by Guardian's Denis Thorpe. Said it reminded him of the Christmas Day truce during WW1.

Yeah I don't think it's too well known which is a shame really, he was a lovely bloke I could have listened to his stories all night, he wasn't that pleased about the Americanisation of his character either

Great thread... and no pun intended but I wondered if you'd ever read this book before? I bumped into Squadron Leader Foster (Hilts) in the mid 90s and he was good enough to share some stories and clippings on his way to a book signing. It's a great read

100% I reached burnout trying to juggle work, freelance and family a while back, and it's taken a good 2-3 years to reach a point where I'm happy to dip my toe back in the creative pool, but little and often is my new motto instead of all or nothing etc, personal projects taking priority too

Jim Abrahams, one of the creators of the highly quotable movie "Airplane!," has sadly passed away. In 2016, he gave us the backstory on how its most enduring joke, "Don’t call me Shirley," may have saved the entire production. vulture.visitlink.me/whJogz
