Made a lovely cameo in the car park leaving the ground. Tried to drive past the Jimmy Mac through a few thousand people trying to leave.
When one young lad banged on his window he got out of the car calling him an f*king b*llend and then abused a few more fans who told him to shut up up and get back in his car.
The most embarassing thing for him was nobody seemed to recognise him.

Well observed Sherlock. Obviously I meant anyone else.

Why was Frank Sinclair there today?
Did he miss his train back after the Cardiff game?

Is it any wonder threads end up in arguments with pedantic posts like this!? It’s a turn of phrase obviously not meant to be taken literally!

Clearly he didn't lie and you've just tried starting an arguement, you've just made yourself look a tit

He was a 'special guest' in North Stand Hospitality. I once witnessed his behaviour while he was manager at Colwyn Bay & it was appalling. A

end indeed.

He was probably there as it was a TV game, be it for coverage for some global channel etc.
Still not a good attitude, I couldn't care if it was my brother doing that. Before and after match day expect the worse, nobody has the God given right to not to expect to get stuck in traffic.
I loved Frank too.. he helped settle the ship here after Stan left.

He was attempting to drive a big car through crowds of people leaving the ground 5 minutes after the final whistle. The young lad banged on his window to try to stop him driving over a bunch of people. I was just an observer but to come out shouting and swearing at kids wasn't a great look. When he was told to get back in his car by another bypasser he then just started swearing at everyone.
Looked like an entitled ex footballer who didn't think he should have to wait for the the rest of us run of the mill fans to leave.

He might’ve been more chilled out if someone asked him what his favourite Chelsea memories were.

Obviously, I mean who else would try and stop a car driving through a crowd of people, which quite easily could have knocked a child down, or anyone else for that matter
Shame there aren't a few more dic*heads about if they prevent somebody getting injured.

I wouldn't drive through a crowd of people like he did
50 years of driving and nobody has banged on my car
Perhaps I'm a little more respectful to those around, and don't behave like a prick who thinks he can do what he wants, just because he once played football

Met his daughter a few years ago on Olhos Da Agua beach a few years ago. Stunning model type, said she was a Bolton lass.

It’s common sense that you can’t leave straight after the game from that car park yet you always get somebody trying it.
Many times there’s been a “blockage” at the bottom of the cricket path because some numpty has tried it.
Thing is they know they are in the wrong coz they just stay blankly forward avoiding eye contact with anyone

Met him a couple of times. Seemed alright to me on both occasions.

I saw him and didn't recognise him, but he certainly looked grumpy as anything sat in his car.

Sounds like Frank scored another own goal today.

Was he the guy in the middle of the road between the longside lower and Jimmy Mac stand as we all wondered why a car was there at full time.

Having an absolute nightmare at West Brom always sticks in my mind. Was playing right back and Koumas gave him the absolute runaround, think Frank got himself sent off just to put an to the torment.

Yes. There were a few parked around there in stupid places but he was the one trying to bulldoze his way through the hoards
