The Man, The Myth, The Legend _ Martin Mountford

Here is a picture of everyones Fave Manager Martin Mountford.

Martin recently sent me an Email:-

"Since leaving MacDonalds in Glasgow, i transfered to a McD's in England and lasted 2 weeks. I had imagined it to be the same as up there, but it was a million times shitter.

I have lived in London and Brighton, before settling in Braintree, a wee town about 40 miles from London. I have been a store manager for coop amongst other things. I now work for Royal Mail, as a mail sorter on the late shift, its a shit job but pays the bills.

I got married last year and have 3 step kids which is cool.

No stories from up there, the last 6 months were a blur. After splitting with my wife, my life consisted of work and alcohol. That wee pub across the road was a cool place.

I have been back to Glasgow twice, since '95, once with my wife, staying in Kilmarnoch. I thought it would be the same, but how much it had changed."



Sounds as if life is good for the big man. I remember Martin to be the coolest manager....mainly because he wasnt a pain in the arse about most stuff. Although he did have his moments.

I mind one time on the last bus home he was so drunk he fell into the eisle and I had to pull him back up as he told me what he thought of my girlfriend at the time. I'm sure anyone who remembers martin will have a drunken story they could tell you.

One drunken night out Martin got a bit Fresh with Nicola Cairns. The next day his wife came into visit him and overheard some gossip about what happened which led to them splitting up.

Afterwards Mr mountford was lucky enough to move in with Alan Sharp for a while. Alan being the decent guy he was played so many jokes on Martin. One time Alan had somehow gotten the numbers that martin had put on in the lottery and when the big man phoned Alan for the numbers Mr Sharp just gave him his own numbers leaving Martin thinking he had won a fortune. What a Bastard!! and thats not even mentioning the times he rifled through martins intimate letters and told everyone about them!
