And who'd have thought I'd have ended up in Hollywood, an Award-Winning Film Star with a shitload of films under my belt? [Luckily I'm still as modest as ever – some people really let it go to their heads…] Imagine the odds you'd have got on that when I was still running round in the pissing down rain on a Thursday morning like you lot. But then all players should have ambitions for when they hang up their boots. Look at the rest of the Crazy Gang; Wisey's managing my beloved Leeds – good luck mate – Lawrie's doing a great job for Northern Ireland, Robbie Earle and Fash've got great TV careers – Fash's even started his film career with me in Johnny Was [he was shit though].
Hopefully, some of the features in TLR won't just interest you now, but maybe give you some thoughts for the future. I was happy to do this intro, but only 'cos the tight bastards couldn't afford me for a feature. My personal opinion's that they should have more greyhound racing, fishing and films in the mag – but then that's just me.
Gotta go, the pool's calling… enjoy the mag,
Vinnie
