I know there are a lot of fans of Marvelous - the story of Nello - and if you’ve not watched it already, then you really should. It’s a life-affirmingly wonderful film

A mates just sent me this clip of Lou Macari regaling people with a Nello story

It’s quite sweary but very funny

It is very amusing and I think can be found as a Five Live podcast too.

Remember him well at Keele. Could sometimes be a little odd. Not sure the film is completely accurate.

It's one of my favourite films ever.

Particularly love the line "I wanted to be happy so I decided I would be".

Just Marvellous!

No idea about the reality but the film is the most feelgood thing ever.

Lou macari strikes me as an extremely caring individual, did he not have a homeless shelter place set up pretty bloody fast when COVID came?

He's got a foundation helping the homeless

And a chippy next to Old Trafford, obviously

He's had a homeless shelter for years. I played a fundraiser function for them sometime pre Covid. Fairly bizarre evening as I've found with lots of these sporting benefit events. Obviously it's a fantastic thing that Lou Macari does with his foundation....I'll leave it at that. Nello was there that night, sat with a lager shandy looking fairly fed up all night, he is a lovely bloke though!
