I'm meeting up with Mike tomorrow. I am looking for a handful of questions to ask him. Does anybody have anything that they would like me to ask? Much appreciated.
 

I remember the opening game of the season vs leeds 90-91 (Neville Southall half time protest)

I remember vividly Mike made a high-footed challenge on the main stand side of the ground (I was in the lower bullens) just inside the Gwladys St half, which near decapitated Chris Whyte - but amazingly, Whyte just ran through it! Does he remember that? I could even hear his boot colliding with Whyte's head!!

I remember it vividly as though it happened an hour ago! It was one of the most jaw-dropping football moments that must've gone unnoticed by everyone bar me!
 

...I like the generic; 'who were the most talented/best players at EFC during your time and what is your opinion of the manager/coaches you played for'.

Newell was a useful cricketer, I think he might have played in the Liverpool Competition, was he ever faced with a career choice of football or cricket?
 
Has he ever gone into an ice cream shop and asked for a relatively obscure flavour which they didn't have and got in such a mood he ruined the day for his whole family and wouldn't just have mint choc chip despite the fact he usually likes it? And kept saying, 'it's fine' but nothing else until the drive home.

I've just ruined a family day being in a huff, not over ice cream like, actually I don't know what over. Think I just decided I couldn't be arsed today.

And follow up - what's the worst way he's disappointed a loved one? And why won't he stop doing it?

Which family members did you ruin the day for? Are you going to apologise? I think you should
 
i have a few

a) who would win a game of topless darts between bespectacled ex Snooker World Champion Dennis Taylor and facially challenged cockney actor Dennis Waterman of Minder fame? Dennis the Menace Priestley to referee, also topless.

b) where does the phrase "hungry enough to eat a farmers arse through a double ditch" originate

c) where does he see himself in 5 years time

d) The list of places where he has played for or managed reads like a top 10 of Britains crappest towns?
Where was the worst and does he have any plans on managing Middlesborough in order to complete the set?

e) who stole Tim's cheese?
 
ask mike if he's ever been confused by people thinking he's paul dempsey the old sky sports presenter
