David Attenborough is from London his dad taught here for a bit. embarrassing that we try to claim him in my humble opinion.

A bit disingenuous really, he did a little more than teach here!

 

He was born in Islington because his father was principal of the borough road training college for 7 years before coming to Leicester to be be principal for the university college Leicester for 19 years (now Leicester university)

 

He grew up in Leicester from the age of about 5 or 6 for most of his formative years after being born somewhere which the family had been for only 7 years. 

 

He he has much more reason to be linked to Leicester I'd say than islington!

Maybe so mate but he wasn't born here, his family wasn't born here and as soon as he left for uni he never returned here to live.

 

he's a great man who's had a fantastic career and I wish he was from Leicester but does not qualify as a son of this great city.

I conceded, 

his dad certainly had an impact on the city, and to some extent his older brother, you are right though David's footprint is definitely more difficult to see!

Has anyone seen him lately?

Same as me then....but when I think about it he does seem to have disappeared in the last year or two. Before the title winning year he was always around and about near the local hero/around the stadium. But I don't seem to see him any more. 

 

Really hope he's ok. 

[Bilo]

Me too, but I was discussing with a friend earlier about how he hadn't been seen in ages.

 

Hopefully he's OK.

[m4DD0gg]

Saw him at Liverpool at home but that was some time ago 

[Shah johns]

Met him a few times,, what a character, show yourself Bernie hope you ok !!!

In a infinite universe that is happening.

I remember one night I pulled a cracking blonde in Zanzibar, great arse, good kisser, I was absolutely steaming but I still managed to get it up back at my place, and we just made love all night it was fantastic. She was beautiful. Then in the morning I awoke, looked over to her, it was Bernie. Worst case of beer goggles I've ever had. Has anyone else ever done that?

Probably many but I doubt they will be as brave as you to admit it  xx

[Wolfox]

Not since he gobbed  (inadvertently) in my daughters Coca Cola outside the Swan & Rushes during the title winning season...  I thought I hadn’t seen him for a while

[mbrambini]

I'm sure he was born a bit mad that's why he is such a character.

 

[rn9013]

According to Jim on twitter he was at the man United game and is still attending. He must just be sneaking in and out these days. 

[Vindaloo FOX]

started swearing at me for no reason before the 3-2 win vs Villa at home. 

 

i think he thought i was a Villa fan. 

 

hope he is well, bless him.

[yorkie1999]

I heard he decided to splash the cash and bought a box at the ground, that’s his car outside the main entrance that’s got a cover over it.

[Bilo]

Glad to hear he's still attending, I wonder if he's going in and out of games quietly because he just wants a quiet life these days. He's certainly getting on a bit.

[waylander]

should be a national holiday ahhhh
