Index Card von Stan Boardman mit schwarzem Stift signiert /// Autogramm Autograph signiert signed signee /// Stanley Boardman (born 7 December 1937)[citation needed] is an English comedian. Contents 1 Early life and career 2 Controversies 3 Other appearances 4 References 5 External links Early life…and career Boardman was evacuated with his family to Wrexham during the Second World War, and after the family returned to their Merseyside home mistakenly thinking the area had escaped the German bombs, his elder brother Tommy was killed in a bombing raid. He had been a keen footballer in his youth and was an apprentice at Liverpool F.C., and signed for Tranmere Rovers as a teenager.[2] Boardman ran a haulage firm before winning a holiday camp talent contest and breaking into television on Opportunity Knocks and The Comedians.[3][4] Boardman became known for his anti-German jokes, with his claim that "the Germans bombed our chippy" during the Second World War.[5] His later involvement in football includes being invited by Ron Atkinson to entertain his Sheffield Wednesday and Aston Villa players before the League Cup finals in 1991 and 1994.[2] Controversies An incident during a live edition of The Des O'Connor Show (Thames) in the mid-1980s gained publicity at the time. A joke - about the Second World War reminiscences of a Polish pilot who flew in the Royal Air Force - made play on the word "Fokker", referring to the German Focke-Wulf aeroplanes.,[6] even though Fokker had been a Dutch aircraft manufacturer since its move from Germany in 1919 and had nothing to do with Focke-Wulf. Boardman's comedic style has led to controversy several times; after telling racist jokes at a Leeds United Player-of-the-Year-Award dinner in 2002 (months after two Leeds players had been arrested for assaulting an Asian student), the club withheld his fee, describing his act as "inappropriate and unacceptable" and barred him from performing at the club in future.[7][8] This led to a planned appearance at a Leicester City event being cancelled.[7] Other appearances In June 2006 he had a hit with "Stan's World Cup Song", which reached No 15 in the UK Singles Chart.[9] Fellow comedian Peter Kay wrote about him in his second autobiography "Saturday Night Peter"; in it he describes his early days on the comedy circuit and being on the bill with Stan who at the time had the nickname Stan "The German Fokker" Boardman. In June 2009, Boardman appeared on Celebrity Wife Swap,[10] and in October 2011 he appeared with his daughter, Andrea Boardman, on the celebrity version of Coach Trip.[11] /// Standort Wimregal PKis-Box5-U015 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 10.
