Another cracker from the famous Sherman on Sunday there, All Saints Senior Gaelic team were playing in semi final against Rasharkin out at the Greggan pitch, Sherman waits at the chapel (black sports bag full of watches in hand) with the team for a lift, anyway he gets a lift out and when the man asks him to pay in (its 8 quid in) Sherman says "ah am with the team, am there physio, look pointing to the bag" the man oh right go ahead. haha cracker ;D ;D

Was Sherman not on trial at Hibs, and getting dogs abuse in a match from another player - so after being substituted, went into the changing rooms, put on the guys suit, wallet and all in pocket and walked out of the club never to be seen again!!
Ive heard he has the suit hanging up at home and the wallet framed
Dont know how much of this is true though!!

twas . in 1993 i was pretty fit and was at the young age where all i wanted to do was play soccer.having played for carniny for 4 seasons with some of the best players ever to play in the history of the bsml , i had built up confidence and just said f**k it , i wrote to 6 or 7 teams in england and scotland . i remember getting an answer from lincoln , rotherham and dundee f.c . now you can imagine me writing a letter about my own talents hahahahaha. well lincoln said they didnt search as far as that for players as they couldnt really afford to many costs . rotherham came out with something the same . however dundee stated that they didnt have an irish scout but if i wanted to come across and stay for a trial period , they would supply my boarding and i could take part in every day life within the club . i lost my giro ( aye right ) and got another one obvoiusly along with the one i had , making approx £200 . i got the boat and i remember on the boat when i got a fry i ate most of it and noticed there was a bit of egg shell on the white of the egg , so i stated this to one of the waitresses and of course to my total suprise they offered me a whole new 10 itemer , i said i didnt think i could stomach it but then weighed up the options , 2 egg 2 fadge etc , f**k it i said , sure il not have to eat till near bedtime lol , sloncha stenna line hahaha. when i got off at cirnryan i thumbeb a lift to dundee so help me god . he was watching me i swear to this day . i arrived at dens park around 4/5 pm ish , met mr jim duffy , introduced myself , he was flabbergasted , he couldnt believe how eager i wwas , and do you know what , he liked the whole situation. i was taken to the kings hotel , broughty ferry , dundee , coincidentally owned by the club owners and directors . well i was the talk of the place for days . this was crazy i had people waitng on me and offering room service . taljk about feeling like as if i was on to a good thing . well that night i was taken to meet players and staff at training , il never forget it as long as im around lads . i was paired with ex celts george shaw and gerry britton who lived in the hotel . next few days consisted of training at dens park . , .i was living like a pro , eating nothing but the best of grub , wearing the track siuts and all and no matter where we went people wanted to know me or would talk to me like i was something . however neal mccann former ger was with the club at this tiome and what an arrogant little b*****d . we had our slaggings and he couldnt win with me so he would talk down to me like as if to say i wasnt able to play with him . i went to the changing rooms and stole his wallet and his siut and met the great joe dunlop[ at cairnryan , we had an egg bap and tea then got on to his van where he was taking foods and goods to slovenian orphanages and the great man himself left me off at the entrance3 the peoples park on his way home to bmoney r.i.p . this is as true to its word and it was some craic . but if only i had been a bit more grown up at that stage of my lif e you never know what would have happened cos let me remind you guys , when i was firt i could have fukin played a bit lol. its a pleasure to enjoy the craic on the forum so i hope youl take me for real and not for granted . xxxx

Sherman got very hungry today in that rain when we got back to the Social Club he had already helped himself to two plates of sarnies ''f**k them boys i havet ate all day'' he claimed so i said Sherman let the visitors eat first and we will follow and follow he did, polished off another 5 plates of sarnies, Cocktail sausages and Sausage rolls ;D
As we were finishing up he was for taking home a full tray of leftover sarnies to watch x factor he said ''he just hates seeing food wasted'' i said we had noticed that ;D ;D
We also got the Neil McCann story and he spoke briefly about his mate Charlie the Squirrel ;D ;D

Lads the great Sherman came across a spare 1000 copies of his best selling book about Ballymena United.
He has them at a bargain price £1.99 so anyone looking one get in touch way the man himself he also autographs them at an extra 50p charge.
A great xmax present imo ;D

One Sunday night a few years ago when O'Hanlon's was going well, me, Melvyn and a couple of other lads were just getting in the mood for a bender about an hour before the bar closed. Sherman (Who just happened to be earywigging) says, I'm a bit skint lads but if yous get a carry-out you can use my flat. Only trouble is I've got no electric. If yous chip in with for a score for the meter I'll nip down the 24 hour garage, get electric and away we go!... We got to his flat, gave him £20 and he just facked off, leaving us waiting for him. Next morning Melvyn saw him wandering around the estate hungover. The dirty tramp had went back to O'Hanlon's, got himself a carry-out with our money and went to a party in the DR!

Maybe calling him a dirty tramp is a tad harsh Shanks, this is a Sherman Appreciation Thread afterall!! ;D ;D |

Surely he couldn't have rolled, done the line, smoked joints, took pics and scratched his arse all at once..... ;D |
