Strong Stuff 2,171 Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Steve Berry took over from Gareth Brown didn't he?I am right in thinking he had no real interest in scoots at all did he? I remember Loaded doing a feature on dangerous dogs about ten years ago...it had Ian Brown on the front cover. I remember cos it was in my bogs at work That's him mate, he had no real interest in anyone or anything except himself! He went into importing Harleys I think then to Top Gear and independant videos etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Waz 4,212 Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Im sure it was in FHM that they done a feature on weight pulling, would of been around 15 year ago. Guess the fashion has changed. Blimey, you've got a good memory mate! If the article you're talking about was the one in SKY magazine, it was 1991!!! The actual article was written in 1989 though nearly 20 years ago It was sort of my fault that article ever got written, it was by a then struggling young reporter called Steve Berry (who later went on to become a Top Gear presenter and general snob who forgot who his friends were.....) Steve used to write for Scootering magazine in the late 's and I sort of knew him through Scooters already, then I built a bit of a custom scooter and he wanted to put it into the magazine, when he came to my house to do the photos he met my dogs, and saw a couple of trophies and certificates for weightpulling, he had a dog too, an EBT called Jack, so I told him about the weightpull club in Liverpool where I went and he came along, Jack was shit at pulling, but Steve asked the lads if they would mind him writing an article (Steve not Jack!) and that's where all that came from. The club was called Liverpool Stafford Fanciers, and started in about 1987 until around 1991, we had a couple of shows at the old Quadrant Park nightclub (in the daytime of course) which were quite successful. You took me back a bit there Waz! As for the FHM article, I'd have thought it was obvious it wasn't exactly a serious magazine, hopefully that undercover reporters opinions will be treated with the contempt they deserve. Surprised he's still with us, would have thought he'd done plenty to justify his disappearance ........ Yeh, that was the mag, sorry not FHM, That was a while back and about the time I got switched onto bull terrier types. Used to get scootering about the same time, all the scootering mags went to the cousin in law. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
