Errrr, no!
it was the kebab selling Stavros, and he supported the ARSenal.
Harry Enfield I believe.
can't be bothered with the rest.

FlutNush

It was Harry Enfield as Stavros; a non-stereotyped Kebab-Shop owner. Don't know about the team, but it was a small skit on that Ben Elton show (Saturday Night Live, or something), and the full phrase in all its glory was “Hello everybody peeps”.

Do I win a prize? I made a right balls of the movie quiz and wish to be covered in glory.

mmmchips and Flutnush have almost got all the answers. Yes it was on FRIDAY Night Live hosted by Ben Elton and it was Harry Enfield's first big break in comedy. Way before he got his own show, James.
As an Arsenal fan ( a team he called "The A r s e", he was able to get away with the magic joke "I'm going up the A r s e with her inside the doors", which was itself a play on George Cole in Minder and his wife "'er indoors".
After Stavros he then brought to our attention the Cockney "Loads a Money" and the Geordie "B u g g e r all money"
Great days. Still nothing to do with poker. Sorry!
