Apologies if I've missed anyone out.

On the (really very good) WSOP Thread Next Door, I saw mention today of Kenny Broad.

Yikes, there's a name & a few memories.

I could tell so many Kenny Broad tales, but, keeping my nose clean, I'd stick to the one where Bob the Butcher tried to kiss Kenny. (It was Bob's habit to kiss everyone).

Kenny was "not keen" on Bob kissing him, & the ensuing scene was hilarious.

What was the name of the really mouthy blonde hair guy from Luton/the Vic. Always used to try angle shots or tried to talk his way into pots.
