THE MISADVENTURES OF DAVID McKEON

AGED 27 AND A HALF

This is my older brother David, some would say that with age comes wisdom, David is a fine example of why that is a load of bullshit!!!

The above photo is of David infront of Wigan Rugby League Club just before he went and saw Wigan play Canberra in the super league club challenge of 1997, I think canberra won the game, but thats not important really, what is important is the adventures my roving brother got up to at the game!!

LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!

Ok it all started out innocently enough, game starts, David and friends sit and watch game, game ends, usual day at the football thus far, but the fun was yet to begin!!

Wigan Rugby League club bought it on themselves really, now seriously, who would sell alcohol to this man!!!

No I didn't think you would, but alas, someone at wigan thought it would be fun to give him some beer, that was their first mistake.

There second mistake was a little less their fault, it took a lot of shit talking on David and Seans' (Davids' partner in crime) behalf.

The game is now over and most of the crowd has left, but David and Sean decide to stay around for a while and get their pictures taken on the oval.
Not content with just a picture on the oval, our two foreign explorers decided to go forth and see how far a camera, two smiles and a whole lot of bull shit can get you.

Allo, allo, allo, what ave we got ere den aye!!
Technical hitch number one: The Waitress

David and Sean, who from now on will be known simple as 'the explorers', decided to test out their newly found dutch courage in the executive boxes of Wigan Rugby League Club.

All is going a long just beautifully until along comes a waitress!

"Excuse me, what are you doing up here?" she enquires.
"Well," replies David, "we are just looking around, you see I am from Manly Rugby League Club in Australia and Wigan have invited me over here to take a look around to see how I like the facilities on offer here."
"Oh I see, well if there is anything I can do to help," the kind lass offers, "just let me know."
"Come to mention it," says Sean, "we'd really like to see the trophy room."
"No problem at all, here is the key, just be carefull as the tropheys are worth a lot" the overly helpful young lady says. (David was later quoted as saying that she wanted him, but he says this about most women he meets)

The explorers now have a key to untold treasure from beyond, what will our heroes do next? will David ever get in shit for this? find out next time on The Misadventures of David McKeon, same bat time, same bat channel.......

Only joking, they used the key ofcourse!!!!

I am happy to report that to the best of the explorers knowledge, no tropheys were harmed beyond repair!!!

Well where to go from here?

Hey lets ask that guy over there!!
Enter technical hitch number two: The Mascot

This happy chappy is the Wigan Warrior Mascot (not in uniform ofcourse)
our two explorers met this guy on there way out of the trophey room, David went up and introduced himself like the true gentleman that he is,

"Hi, I'm David Smith from the Manly Rugby League Club in Australia and this is Sean Howzit from the Sydney Morning Herald."
The mascot introduced himself as the mascot, very original that!!
"Great," says Sean, camera in hand, "mind if we get a picture of you for the paper, we're doing a story on David here because Wigan are looking to sign him for next season."
The mascot agrees and is very excited to be standing next to Wigans next star aussie signing!!

Enter the stars!!

Here we see David with the biggest rugby league star there is, Mal Meninga. For future referance to all who veiw this page, Mal does not like to be called Smell Me Finger and then have some drunken guys finger shove up to his nose. The happy chappy with the funky moustache doesn't like you doing that either!!!

Bradley Clyde was a bit more jovial, took it well that a drunken aussie had broken into the Wigan executive boxes and was annoying anyone who came near him!!

Ricky Stuart on the other hand wanted to know what was going on, the bullshit flowed and David and Sean were on their way.

Andy Farrel, the pride and joy of English rugby league was a bit bewildered as to what was going on, he agreed to a photo and our explorers went on their merry way, they decided that that was enough exploring of Wigan Rugby League Club, to the pub!!!!

Billy Bostons pub to be exact!!!

Hey Billy, didn't our adventures just meet you at Wigan??
The whole story was retold to Billy and he was more then happy to give them a pint for their troubles. He actually found the whole thing very amusing and said he wouldn't let on to anyone that they had been there.
Thankyou Billy, the australian people owe you one.

Well that was the trip to Wigan, just wait till you see the photos from the glastonbury festival!!

But that'll have to wait, I'm sick of making this page now!!

home is where the heart is
