We all know James 'Fresh Egg' Lees is the current North East marring champion and we all know that he is not one to shy away from a marr off. That is why The Daily Marrer was so surprised when he admitted to us, in an exclusive interview, "I'm scared. I don't normally get nervous before a marr off, but she's just... she's fucking mental!"
And who is The Fresh Egg so scared of? None other than Julie 'Parmo Queen' Phan, a rising star in the North East marring scene. Phan rose to prominence after devastating victories over a number of famous north east marrers, including Jimmy Nail, Chris Kamara and Roy Chubby Brown - a pretty intimidating line up.
But why is The Fresh Egg so scared of her? After all, he has dished out marrings to all of the aforementioned wannabes. The man himself confessed, "It's not that she's marred anyone I couldn't marr - I've given Chubby Brown more marrings than I can remember - it's the way she marrs them... her finishing move!
This brings us to how The Parmo Queen earned her moniker. Having downed her opponents, Phan pins them down and force feeds them her favourite dish - a parmo. Her only explanation for this horrific abuse is her love of local cuisine. "Anyone who gets in my face will know two things - how to get decked in the face and that Europa make the best parmos. I fucking love parmos, me!"
Phan has already achieved cult status on Teesside. Her facebook group, The Julie Phan Club, has grown in size exponentially recently and a number of local retailers are now stocking Phan merchandise.
Phan has also developed a reputation as a bit of fucking cracker outside of the marring ring, constantly getting in to trouble with the local bizzies for smashing up bouncers and marring anyone who "looks at her funny". No wonder The Fresh Egg is so worried.
We at The Daily Marrer can't wait for confirmation that this marr off will go ahead. Whoever wins, it promises to be one of the marrings of all time, with the winner likely to earn a chance to go head to head with National Champion, Brian Blessed.
Stay tuned for more marring news. Until then, keep on marring!
