Why would someone say we were taking the mick? These two people are well known throughout the country, and they come from accrington. When Brett played in the FA cup final he mentioned the town so many times in his interview, that you couldn't doubt where he was from!! So when you say we are taking the mick, find out the facts first, and don't just dismiss it because you have no interest in what he does.
P.s. It was posted as a question as there are no perameters regarding entry into your 'hall of fame'
