This is what I've wanted. About time.

You better not have actually laughed at this you twat.

hahaha... Not much to say mate and in actual fact I mentioned it in the other forum we were all in a few years back. When I was living in Valencia, the owner of one of the places I worked at introduced me to a Spanish football pundit called Julio Maldonado (known in Spain as Maldini) that is very respected in the world of football, especially the Spanish speaking world of football. I went out with him on various occasions and infact got me the tickets for the game at the Santiago Bernabéu where Barça won 2-6. Through him on one of my trips to see family in Barcelona he was at a bar and we met up one night and it so happens that bar was owned by Joan Gaspart (who also owns a very important hotel in Barcelona). It was a private party and I was introduced to him... Obviously my more than evident sympathies for FC Barcelona meant that I attached myself to that group and I was subsequently invited to a set of gastronomy trips they would all do in the Basque region three times a year. He is very hard headed in that he has his opinions and won't sway from them but he's also hilarious with a dry sense of humour and very realistic on his time as president of the club. I also got his story first hand from him on that famous incident when he was vice-president under the presidency of Josep Lluis Núñez in 1992 where Barça won their first European Cup (Champions League) at Wembley against Sampdoria. He promised before the game that if Barcelona ended up victorious that he would swim in the River Thames that same evening... He was true to his word!!! Few have ever ventured to swim in that river... hahaha
