The Beast on Soccer AM

[Sparky]

Mark “The Beast” representing the Blades on Soccer AM if anyone is interested. Martin Green even found him a Blades shirt the other week. Wonder if he’ll wear it?

What event was that photo taken at as a matter of interest?

Greggs Christmas Party

Is it true that billy loaned him a shirt but he found it too baggy so borrowed a more snug fitting one instead?

Was the 'Beat the Beast' quiz the other week in the platinum suite. He begged me for a photo too

Thought Higdon was back for a second.

Cheers. I normally try and go to these but missed it.
Did anybody manage to “Beat the Beast”?

 

[Melbourne Blade]

Haha gold What a lovely guy. I'm actually scheduled to film for the Australian version of Chase and he's one of the chasers I might face. Tempted to wear a blades top under my shirt just in case.

I think he needs a couple of sizes up.

I think he needs a couple of sizes up.

Don't think United have made sizes like that since Fatty Foulke was in goal. Lad needs to get up the gym, he could look a proper monster not just a fat lad from Devon (how's he come to support United? I thought for no known reason he was born in Rotherham).

I read somewhere it's because he works with Redtooth ( on the quizzing/gaming side) and was introduced to the Blades by their owner who is/was a Director?

Blimey he's a unit and a half! Possibly the camera angle but he looks about 2 feet taller than everyone else (as well as 2 feet wider)!?

It’s actually in his contract that he’s not allowed to lose weight unbelievabley!

 

[Ricky]

We've claimed him, we've claimed Mick Foley. Who could be next?

 

[GroovyBrad]

Slightly unrelated but hilarious

BRING ON THE POLICE

 

[S64 Blade]

Maybe he saw us on one of the many occasions United toured the West Country under Warnock, got sick of seeing us down there and thought I might as well support them, they’re here that often!

 

[KoppedOff]

Sign him up...

Unfortunately he was recently diagnosed with Diabetes and therefore began a weight loss regime and actually lost a bit

Looking at him on Soccer AM tho, looks like he's stuck it back on

He lives somewhere near Rotherham I believe, and is married to his cousin.

I heard a Richard Herring podcast the other day with Paul Sinha who is also a comedian - he said Mark Labbett wasn’t called The Beast because of his size but because he’s fucking his cousin

 

[Tynemouth Blade]

He used to live there.

 

[United Aren't Back.]

He's Blades.
I'm Blades.
United are winning.
Who cares whether he's fat, thin, or of a moderate build?
He supports the Blades and that's enough.

 

[Bladesman]

Knows his Blades even if he does need a bigger shirt.

 

[CharlotteBlade]

He was representing - but then didn’t he say he was watching the rugby over the West Brom match ?

He was going to watch both I think. Dual screen!

I'll still be a Blade in a South London boozer with 200 rabid Millwall fans if I was stood behind him
