So everyone's got a Josh Magennis story right?
Story one.
In Saturdays match thread you might of read about me bumping into big Josh in the Water Lilly as he was picking up his well earned Chinese. Resplendant in full Charlton trackies straight off the back of a pasting at home by the mighty Shrewsbury Town.
Story two.
Got car stuck in a snow drift yesterday on the Ratcliffe Highway, back of Hoo. Guess who "tried" to help push me out? Yep good ole Josh got out of his motor. I wasn't budging so said thankyou and he was on his merry way. I got towed out by the son in law eventually.
Two Josh Magennis stories... beat that!

A very likeable person is Josh.8

He's a nice man, He's a very very nice man. A very very nice man.3

I saw him in Diggerland just before the season started.
The mini diggers that you go on with your kids and actually really want to drive yourself....
Big Josh didn't bother with taking a kid on, he was loving it.
Very friendly bloke though, happy to stop and have a chat with me and my lad who was wearing his Charlton shirt.8 -
My then-4-year old son presented him with the MOM Champagne when he got his hat-trick last year - he posed for a photo and then my son walked behind him and tried to steal the match ball as he posed for other photos
When my son was Mascot earlier in the season he asked to go onto the pitch with Josh who duly obliged - then we bumped into him in the Millennium lounge a few months ago and he remembered my son and said hello.
He bought me a pint of Guinness in Dublin on the club's pre season tour in Ireland.
Boom. 3 stories. None exciting but I can confirm he is a thoroughly nice chap.8 -

So what you’re saying with the snow story is he put in a lot of effort but ultimately it was down to someone else to come along and get a result.
Yes, sounds very Josh Magennis.20 -
No way could I compete with foo-yung and a snowdrift.!soapy_jones said:

He bought me a pint of Guinness in Dublin on the club's pre season tour in Ireland but laced it with laxative when I wasn't looking

I saw him score a goal once. I think.1

If he gets injured now and we don't get promoted, I'll be blaming you for driving into snow drifts. That's how it seems to work on here......soapy_jones said:Well i have two.

I bumped into him at a BP garage near Norwich. He bragged he was on his way to meet Bono. I didn't believe him so he took me to a stately home Bono owned nearby called Blickling Hall and showed me Bono's hatchback collection.11

Posted the following soon after he had signed:-
Regarding Josh and boots.
Last year my son, then aged 13, joined Killie' s Academy from Charlton. When we joined we were given access to a website whereby you can order boots direct from Adidas. The terms of purchase were that the boots had to be delivered to the club.
When we went to collect the boots, we established (after a number of enquiries) that Josh had claimed the boots (only the Academy staff had heard of us) and had worn them in the opening league game of the season against Dundee.
Josh came and saw us and was really embarrassed. He asked us to order another pair which he paid for.
He came over as a very decent genuine guy.....5 -

"Hello Alan"

"The Edge is fine"
"How, how's Adam Clayton?"

There was an element of that in that he had played shite in the boots against Dundee in a 4-0 loss. He gave the boots to the goalkeeper Jamie Macdonald who continued to wear them for a few months. He also told us that he thought he had been sent them by his sponsor Adidas which is why he took them. Turned out he was sponsored by Nike.cafcdave123 said:

Awesome. He comes across as very well spoken and down to earth in interviews. Happy to hear it's confirmed outside of football as well.
Stopping to help someone push their car out, even I wouldn't do that, though I'm not very nice tbf.1 -
So your son at the age of 13 had the same size feet as Big Josh - by the time he gets to reach Josh's age he'll have feet bigger than King Kong!DOC64 said:Posted the following soon after he had signed:-

Yeah has been Size 11 since age 12. Luckily for me they haven't grown since, but still time as not 16 yet. He has also left many an empty fridge behind him.....4

Yeah, Josh is a top bloke.
A couple years ago I got roped into watching my 3 month old niece while my sister got her hair done. So there I am, sitting in the waiting area of a hair salon with my niece, and who walks in, but Josh Magennis.
I was nervous as shit, and just kept looking at him as he read a magazine and waited, but I was too scared to say anything to him. Pretty soon though my niece started crying, and I'm trying to quiet her down because I didn't want to bother Josh, but she wouldn't stop.
Pretty soon he gets up and walks over. He started running his hands through her hair and asked what was wrong. I replied that she was probably hungry or something. So Josh Magennis put down his magazine, picked up my niece, and lifted his shirt. He breast fed her right there in the middle of a hair salon. Chill guy, really nice about it.35
