We brought down a camera on Saturday to get some shots of the new strip and the team in action, So before kick off i look over to the line and shout to Sherman can you take loads of photos during the match and that as we were gonna put them on our facebook page. Of course Sherman tells me, He is an expert in photography and how years ago he did a course asks me all about the camera obv to keep up his story so i think happy days. The game kicks off and after the bad result i never checked the photos. I text Roberhoof tonight and ask him did Sherman take many photos and how did they look- He text back he took two, One of us doing the warm up and one of himself ;D ;D ;D I have to admit i did some laughing  |

I once played a pre-season friendly in Doagh for BC and our man Sherman was there. After the game there was a car boot sale in the car park beside the pitch. He "bought" a necklace at it for a quid. Back in Ballymena and Sherman takes himself off to Adair's jewellers and gets an empty case. Puts the two together and sells it for 20 quid in the Inn. Necklace £1, Sheman's reputation £19. In the end up Toals were the only ones to profit as his £20 14 team accumulator was f*cked by half time.

Another wee story from his Salesman days.... Sherman up the town very early one morning as he always told me ''Early bird catches the worm'' he's dandering by Poundstrecthers when he notices these immatation China sets in the window for like a £5 a set so Shermy goes in and they look the part so actuallys buys four sets for his last score. So now to get some return on his investment he goes up to Camerons furtinure store and caps the price tags of there dear vases and ornaments and sticks them on his lovely China sets from £strecthers goes to the the Bookies and waits for his prey. Finally a fella comes in who knows Sherman well and his antics but gives him this story about this stuff came straight from Camerons to keep quiet etc after some negotiating the fella takes the lot and Shermy makes a large profit About 6 hours later we still in the bookies and the only person that had a mobile back then looks over at Sherman making faces as if to say your f**ked as his mobile is going off way the fella that bought the lovely China, Anyways Sean who owns the mobile anwsered it and obv the fella is looking to speak to Sherman so he goes on bricking himself and starts smiling ;D The fella had rung up to see if he could get anymore as his mother in law and family thought there were crackers haha I had to give it to him that day he caught the fella a beezer |

Nothing to do with his salesman days like and I might have posted this somewhere before but f**k it....
During my unemployment days of old I was doing my usual dandering about town mingling with fellow non workers when i meet the man they call Sherman.
We're standing talking for a minute when Richie Rich (Richard Smith) and wee Connor Gregg appear. I went to tech with both and they stopped to have a yarn.
Being football men football inevitably came up and Sherman, not knowing either from Charlie Adam, asks what team they play for. Big Smith told him he wasn't playing at all and wee Connor told him he was at Wakehurst but wasn't sure if he would stay.....
Before he could finish Sherman, being Sherman, jumps in with both feet.....
"Awk, ye see that Wakehurst sham, that club sickens me. It used to be a great club and some of the Town's best players played there but you see since that arsehole took over, you know yer man Gregg that owns the housing place?? Well since he came in that club has went to the dogs. If you're not a f**king yes man you're out on your ear. He knows f**k all about football and I know a couple of the players personally and they tell me everyone hates them him. Dickhead he is".....
He went on that long that when he had finished the lads (trying not to laugh) said their goodbyes and left..
Sherman turns to me, "what do you call that wee fella"??
I said, "oh that wee Connor Gregg, great wee footballer. Comes from money too, his da owns that Rainey and Gregg place"....
He went beetroot red and stormed aff!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

A few years ago Sherman pulled off a jewellery heist without even setting foot in the jeweller's shop. He had been getting up early for a few mornings to case a top of the town jewellers and hatch his cunning plan. The following week Sherman is standing outside the the shop at 7.30am wearing a whistle n' flute and his Clark Kent hairstyle and glasses when the post van drives up. The crafty Sherman's plan is now starting to take shape as the unsuspecting postie approaches the shop to find Sherman rummaging through his suit pockets mumbling about forgetting the keys of the shop. "Have you got anything for me this morning?", says the sneaky Sherman, " I'll just sign for it here as I've forgotten the keys of the shop." The gullible postie hands Sherman a box, takes his signature and drives off leaving the evil genius with a box of nice expensive jewellery! ... Genius!!

The time he represented himself in court when curtains went missing from Harry Corrys was another classic story.
Sherman got cut off his dole and argued that is was against his human rights and had no option to go out and steal something to feed himself, The f**king Judge fell for it and threw the case outta court, I rememeber reading that the judge asked Mr Wright to approach the bench and i quote ''As Mr Wright approached the bench he wiped away the tears from his eyes'' Old Liam Neeson wouldt be in it ;D ;D ;D

On another of his forays to the courthouse for relieving Poundstretchers of a sportsbag full of deodorants and razor blades Sherman was asked by the beak if he had representation. He told the exasperated magistrate that once again he would be defending himself. Remembering his previous attempt the beak was having none of it and made Sherman employ the services of a young Asian solicitor who was unfortunate enough to be in court that day. So Sherman comes back into court with the solicitor in tow and tells him, "Right lad, just do what I tell you and sit there and shut up, don't forget I'm employing you to carry out my instructions", then proceeds to talk s**te to the beak and gets himself 18 months jail!... Sherman then turns to the flabbergasted lawer and says, "Well?... what the f**k am I paying you for?... any chance of you opening your mouth?!!! |

This is all pure class!!!!! ;D ;D ;D
This one was told to me by a girl who witnessed him first hand...
One of my favourite Sherman stories was of a day he went into Boots in the Fairhill (I think) with his trusty swag bag and proceeded to fill the bag with deoderants, shower gel, razor's the heap. Just lifting away at will and at his heart's content. Apparently one of the Boots girls spotted him sticking stuff in his bag and quietly buzzed for the Centre security Specialists (throw a dog a bone!! ;D). The guard weighted into the shop and confronts Sherman about his bag. At first he refuses to allow the guard permission to handle his bag, I think he mentioned something about human rights or something (I'm starting to think he's got a relative called Human Wright ;D), but eventually the guard grabbed it and uncovered the compromising find.
Now, most people would have given up the chase and held their hands up but this isn't your ordinary criminal, this is your ultimate career criminal. He invited criminal....
Just as the police are about to arrive on the scene Sherman notices something and, without missing a beat, gives a stern explaination for the contents of his bag. The master himself just happened to notice at that particular moment there were no baskets left (think the shop was packed) and he argued he really needed all this stuff and came in to give their shop a large amount of custom but there were no baskets. How the f**k was he supposed to carry it all to the till??
Apparently he then threatened to TAKE ACTION AGAINST THEM because they'd tried to make a genuine customer look like a criminal in front of a packed shop, tipped the contents of the bag on the floor and stormed out of the shop reminding them that they'd be hearing from his solicitor!!!!
LEGEND!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D
