All our yesterdays.......Dickie Carr plus......

#1

ChrisV gave me the idea for this topic with his comment elsewhere 'Dickie Carr use to call him Danny Sixpence'

As many know, Dickie Carr was well known for coming out with some cracking unitentional one liners

Whats the best you can remember him coming out with

What didnt he actually come out with, but it might have been right up his street.........

What other brilliant one liners have you heard at the draw/match/payout ?

#2

The best I heard was on the Wolves Winter league about 20 years ago.

The guy next to Dick Porter said to him " It ain't that clear Dick, there is a leaf here about 2 foot down and i can't see it"

#3

From Woodhouse,

"You'll catch crappity smack all on bread here."

#4

Woodhouse face to face ......

I aint got a flamin clue what he is going on about most of the time ... proper translator jobbie

Flamin yam yam

#5

This ones a bit slower than expected

Better get me old AMs out and quote a few from Boris

#6

One of the latest Dickie came out with was " I was in a catch 69 (22) position".

TRUE

#8

There's gorra be more brilliant quotes out there than just these few.......

#9

Yes, here's one from Southern Ireland.

I was in a pub talking the local tackle dealer, (ex Brummie) over the usual half of Guinness.

We were discussing some Championships in Ireland and Les said, real quote this " the trouble is with Dick although he don't mean it he can sometimes leave a nasty taste in yer mouth."

Daren't tell yer my reply, this quote comes up every year we go!

A couple from Frank:

My old travelling companion, Terry Dorman, beat me at the next peg, and
the last time that happened steam trains were running regularly.

It was a terrible journey – 80 miles of traffic jams and the inevitable passenger
you always get on a long journey, who had a skinful of ale followed by a Madras
curry the night before. If we could have bottled the butane we would have made a
fortune filling gas lighters. Dave Berrow, you should see a doctor!

Big John Harper's team pep talk before a match at Edgbaston:
'Of course, if no one is catching bream and you're getting a roach a chuck you could win.'

- I honestly don't know what made him jump to that conclusion...

A former team mate (Who shall remain nameless) But was blessed with a rather large conk, was talking about catching close in on the Soar. He said, and i quote " I was catching Gudgeon from under my nose" To which another team member who was listening in on the conversation said. "About 5 metres then"

That was on the firemans match at Wombourne, the guy was named Barry Walters and he was next peg to me behind the houses, after the match I was moaning that I couldn't keep them coming properly and Barry was admitting to having one a bung all match.

I thing I had 500 odd gudgeon for 6-9-0 and third in the match and Barry weighed 3lb odd.

I nearly choked in the pub after gaz said that.

Heres one that my good friend Jonny Beegan (Coach Driver.....think Dodge might know of him too)

"Ive taught you all I know pal....and you still know nowt "

On microphone whilst pulling in at Macon Service Station north of Lyon at 4:30 am. in morning for a quick toilet stop
"Put interior lights on,, cos i cant see what im saying"

"we will be stopping for half hour & 10 minutes"

Yep! John was a true Irish man....too be sure ..so he woz

#16

#17

Two from Ireland.

I can well remember the genial Jack Tisdall (he was fluent in a few languages) explaining to a German angler what he had caught after a match on the River Erne at Ely Lodge.
I had quite a few proper bream and some decent sized skimmers, half a dozen of which were around half a kilo and four of a lb.

#18

The second was was actually said by more than one and I have heard it in Ireland a few times,

The trouble is with this place is that all the resident fish have crappity smack off.
