Brian Kilcline: ‘I loved playing but the footballer is not who I am. It’s something I did’

I saw him too! Thought it was more Jack Sparrow than Shakespeare but either/or!Saw him in the Family Zone not so long ago.
he looked like something from a shakespeare film. A shirt that tied up, some random trousers and boots.
Have to have a bit about you to pull that off.

He does strike me as somebody who has headed the ball a few too many times in his career!! Nice guy though!

“That’s Finn MacCool from the Giant’s Causeway, he’s bigger than me,” Kilcline says. “There’s a mermaid up there as well. She’s lying on AstroTurf, to give the impression of a garden. Lynn made them both, using push fit piping for the skeleton. We had to drive them back from our home in Portugal, so we sat them in the back – you can imagine what that was like at passport control in Spain.”
When Kilcline signed for Swindon Town in 1994, he politely declined the Premier League club’s offer to put them up in a local hotel and instead decided to live on a canal. “Lynn must have looked at 50 narrow boats because the criteria was I had to be able to stand up in one,”
“I had a Dacia Duster, it had a floppy top and looked like an old war truck,” Kilcline explains. “I remember Joe pulling me in the office one day and saying: ‘What the fuck’s that outside?’ He said: ‘You can’t be coming in in that.’ I said: ‘Joe, I either had central heating or a nice car. And central heating won.’”
He is younger than me but looks about 25 years older. He must have 'experimented' with so many substances to get a skin tone like that. Still a legend.There are not many years between us but he looks 20 years older than me :smuggrin:
I've told this story before but will recall it again for those who won't have seen it.
Killer was playing for Swindon the year they were in the Prem and I living locally at the time, I went to see our away match there when we lost 3-1 (Jan Aage Fjortoft hat-trick, think it was Julian Darby with our reply). Me and my step-dad had gone to the game with the people who were recording the match for Swindon so we had players lounge access after the game. As a 13 yr old at the time, I was mega excited by this.
Anyway, I met Phil Neal afterwards and he said 'did you enjoy your day little man?'. I was thinking, we've just f&*king lost 3-1 Phil, what do you think?! As we were so bad, he took the players home straight away, so no getting to meet my heroes in the bar afterwards for pictures and autographs. Despondent.
We went into the bar afterwards anyway and my disappointment made me forget who was playing for Swindon at the time. It was quite a dark and dingy room and I remember sat in the corner, drinking my coke, gutted that I didn't get to see the Cov players. But I looked up, and in the opposite corner of the room, was this beacon of light with a large lions mane of hair...Killer was right in front of me.
My day was only salvaged by the fact I met the guy who had lifted the FA Cup for us a few years prior. A lovely bloke from what I remember who was more than happy to have the obligatory photo with me. Happy days.
Don't be such an idiot Nick.Is this the photo?
