No Flies On Fash
‘TONIGHT John Lydon of the Im A Celebrity pack performs the series first publicly-voted Bushtucker Trial. Sadly, John Fashanu is illegible for it.
You said it |
This is chiefly because the kung fu-ing footballer is now a bona fide celeb and, as such, has little or no need to put rats in his underwear. He has been there and done that and so too have the rats.
Fash has moved onto bigger and better things, and can be seen on the satellite TV channel Bravo cajoling a football team named in his honour.
Fash FC not only boasts a celebrity manager and a TV following in the tens, but its pennant bears the forms of a lap-dancer, a few bottles of champagne and a Porsche sports car.
It also has its own website, on which tens of fans can bone up on the teams bio (Martin Saffu has size 11 feet; Jamie Spanyol is a courier; and Ricky Dhillon has a fear of the Teletubbies).
Its pretty clear that life has moved on since those days when Fash was so keen to be liked that he stuck his head in a vat of eels.
He might not have progressed up the celebrity lists hovering somewhere between D and C but he is on the telly.
And as Kerry McFadden and Darren Day would surely agree, that is more important than anything ’
