Big Dave - would you know if Will Hay's brother was headmaster at Bacup' and Rawtenstall Grammer back in the 30's? An old dear told me Will was a frequent visitor to Waterfoot as a result. This could be Waterfoot's tenuous claim to fame. | ![](/images/avatars/1530.gif) |

I can answer that for you. Unless he's got a different surname, the answer is no, as the Head's pictures are currently on the wall in the hall and none of them are called Hay. | ![](/images/avatars/1107.gif) |

Has anyone here got any claims to fame? on 18:30 - Dec 8 with 5162 views | Brierls | Clipped by Naseem Hamed in his Ferrari as he was speeding up Ecclesall Road in Sheffield. I was stumbling across the road from the pub to KFC. Shared several drinks with Big Sam, Ally McCoist, Ruud Gullit, Andy Townsend, Terry Venables & Clive Tyldesley while at World Cup 2006 in Germany. They stayed in the same city as us, Wiesbaden near Frankfurt, during the group stages. Great memories of asking Ruud Gullit to "kiss the badge" on my Dale shirt, with Big Sam and Ally McCoist fighting my corner. He didn't. NigeriaMark on here ended up staying in the same B&B as Harry Redknapp in Bloemfontein during World Cup 2010, and shared a taxi with him to the ground. Harry was trying to get several bets on. Mark tried to convince him to join us for a geet big steak at the pub we were in, but he had some bullshit excuse of needing to be in the studio for pre-match build up. | ![](/images/avatars/1199.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
