Horatio Hirst

[Blade for Sale]

Young prospect signed up apparently. You are very welcome young man, but I can't guarantee you're going to get off scott free in the pisstake stakes!

I know, fancy being called a ridiculous name like Hirst.

 

[Grappler]

He could be a great stand in for Captain Blade, if he dresses like this

 

[Blade for Sale]

Didn't we used to have a Hardy on the books? It would be worth getting him back if only for the 'kiss me' jokes.

Clever lad by the looks of it. I'm sure his Latin will stand him in good stead with the rest of the lads.....

"...as well as teaching provided by the Sheffield United educational department, so that he can return to Oxford in May to take his A level exams."

There's something nagging away at the back of my mind about the above.

 

[Cyprus Blade]

Hope they did blood and DNA tests - Horatio is far less dodgy than the tainted Hirst monicker.

Both his sisters Georgia and Maude seem like a clever family .

 

[Linz]

Studying A level Economics, Latin and French at d’Overbroeck’s...

Oh, I can just imagine the scintillating conversations he's going to have with his new teammates in the dressing room. Innit fam.

"Horatio!...Mama says a man called Tufty is on the telephone for you"

 

[Rodley]

Good luck lad, all the best at BDTBL.

 

[snootyfenooty]

Destined for stardom, a clever lad with a name like that. Diego with brains!

 

[Snowman]

Bet it gets changed to Harry if he progresses in the game.

Grappler, you've got Nelson wrong way round - thats like flying the Union Jack upside down in my book. Tantamount to plotting against the Queen, off with your head.

By the way, its just a guess but presumably Raitch Carter shared the boy's first name?

 

[Grappler]

He's just arrived at the train station, Louis Reed, Stefan Scougall and David Brooks have gone to meet him.....

 

[Fulwood Blade]

I feel sorry for whoever has to make a song up with his name in it

Horatio...woh-oh, Horatio...woh-oh
He came from Oxford Town
He wears an ermine gown

(Volare is the tune)

 

[Woodwaaard]

There was an excellent Factory Records band in the '80's called A Certain (Ho)Ratio

 

[Bayingblade]

What with his name and his education, he's already on the blacklist of many on here!

Imagine a public school educated, Latin speaking lad called Horatio banging them in for a Premier League bound SUFC.

Some people's head would explode!!

Come on Horatio, lad, make the big time with SUFC just for us with red in our football veins and blue in our political ones!

Christ! They can't even compromise and call him "Ursty"!!!!!!!!

 

[Woodwaaard]

Christ! They can't even compromise and call him "Ursty"!!!!!!!!

Let's just call him "Nelson"

At least the pub of the same name is on our side of town

 

[Rodley]

Joking aside, he's at the best place he can be. Plenty of opportunities to develop and with the right attitude it's a great environment to build a career.

Good luck H

Second line needs one or two syllables. Suggest addition of "up" between from and Oxford and the addition of "and" at the beginning of the third line. Yours Bertie Bacharach

Carpe diem, Horatio.
