My latest financial crisis has seen, for the first time in about three years, Burgess Hill's Minor Celebrity not go out at all this weeked. This lead to one of the more bizarre moments of my life, when on Saturday night I had a ten minute phone call with Leon Knight
Leon was top scorer when Brighton and Hove Albion won promotion to the Championship in 2003-04, including slotting the penalty that won the play-off final against Bristol City at the Millennium Stadium. Since then, his career has gone downhill quicker than a wheelchair carrying a man with no arms to pull the brakes, and he now finds himself clubless after being released by Queen of the South up in Scotland.
To cut a long story short, Mr Knight is somewhat hated by the majority of Albion fans, so naturally it seemed a good idea to interview him for our podcast, the Albion Moan In. For somebody who back in the day came across as a totally arrogant prick, he was suprisingly nice on the phone. You can read the interview and listen to the audio HERE
In other news, McCarthy will finally achieve a life times dream this Saturday when he flies to the Motherland, Russia. A four day stay in the capital of Moscow is argubaly going to be the best week on Burgess Hill's Favourite Minor Celebrity's life, with activites including Red Sqaure, some sort of football game, drinking a hideous amount of vodka (which McCarthy absolutely hates!) and, ultimately, seeing the embalmed body of Vladimir Lenin. Excited doesn't quite cover it!
