There’s only one….

When I was 11 and slung in a dorm for refusing to conform, this avenging archangel in claret and blue adorned my wall. Frank McAvennie was my first favourite footballer; prolific, aggressive and a dab hand with the dames. To stand at his side was to be a child once more. “One McAvennie, there’s only one McAvennie…”

    AMY- please get over yourself.. we do not for 1 minute think we are his ”private lovers & play toys” tho that coment did make us laugh.. If you dont like what we do..dont bother reading what we have to say..simple..

    AMY sweetheart can I just point out…considering he only follows 30 people..one of them beinng @brandystrippers think he may have noticed them !!

  5. Mysti says:

    AMY – do you really think that the comment you posted about the @brandystrippers is really appropriate on russells offical site, plus i doubt he would want people falling out.

    The @brandystrippers are a really nice bunch of people and for you to say what you did is disrespectful, like NIKKI mentioned russell is only following 30 people and the @brandystrippers are one of them, plus he has spoken to them on twitter so he does know them as he met the moderators on there recent trip to london and when russell was in edinburgh.

    You’ve a good heart, Russell. It is not only wise but also magnanimous to remember those who inspired us when things were not so nice for us.

    I cant stop looking at how tight your pants are. Its unreal. Especially in the crotch. Now, I know that you are with your hero and everything. And its a really amazing moment. And I dont mean to ruin it for you. But seriously…. How do you sit down? Is it uncomfortable? Or are you now immune after years and years of wearing THAT tight pants.

    Read about him in your book.
    So cool to finally meet your idol.
    I would totally bone him.

    If you squint a little it looks like you are joined to him like a disgruntled siamese twin who is forced and fed up smiling for japanese tourists clicking thier Fuji cameras. Oh I need a watermelon, I hear its good for your verility

    Aaahhh Russell Russell Russell I am so happy for you. You got to meet your IDOL
    in the FLESH!! How cool is that! I mean really I always tell you what a lucky lucky man YOU are.Huumm it must be neat to ACTUALLY MEET SOMEONE you totally ADMIRE and hold in the highest regard. So I must at this point apologize as I pictured myself standing next to you.Maybe even have FEELINGS from the HEART of LOVING, LUSTING oops I mean liking and respect.We were leaning on each other,touching briefly but touching. So close we could feel each other’s warmth,might possibly touch your hair, having our lips lock-oops(sorry) I meant
    eyes.All the while I felt myself aroused at the prospect of a relationship.
    Wow I can’t believe I just said all that! No I’m lying I am having to go to fantasy land in my mind since you seem to have disappeared off the face of the earth.BAD timing VMAs are right around the corner!! Your absence is a mystery,your tweets are like peeps, your vids are like a stroll down memory lane.
    I want my Russell back,we want cheeky monkey. Take some clothes off, dance around the house with Morrissey, or a blonde,brunette or Nik just get us pumped up.VMAs countdown starts today!! …….cu times a wasting.

    Nice one Russ, can’t be many more heroes you have to meet now! Looking forward to the VMA’s as this website’s been the only current feature of you recently (minus the ol’ sex tales in the papers), but just as Tupac so wisely said… “F the hater’z”!
