I used to have a season ticket right up on the top row of the ponty, the season Andy Ritchie took us up. I sat next to 2 or 3 lads that were proper Devaney haters and couldnt understand why we had signed a right footed left winger. Everytime he touched the ball with his left foot they would all get sarcastically excited and start cheering ridiculously. Then when disco got his 1st goal for us (with his left foot ) they were all left red-faced and everyone around us laughed our cocks off at them!
Funniest thread ever this, Thing is I know a few of em! Ref man was the quietest kid ever till he got to the match.
Does he still go? And more importantly, does he still believe in the FA conspiracy to relegate us to the Conference?! I ran into a lad at Wembley who still sits in that part of the ground. Apparently Chuffin 'ell Jones is still around, though has mellowed quite a bit, but he's not seen ref man for ages.
Jobless Harry Potter was on the photo of the away fans at Villa, which used to be at the top of this page..
There was also 'Movement Guy' who would always shout 'Movement Reds!' every time we had a throw in, particularly during the Matt Done era. I don't hear him anymore and quite miss him.
I know exactly who you mean! Not that far away from me. You II too? We have the father and son combo a few seats infront of us who hate Hammill like nothing I've ever seen/heard before. Bizarre. Strangely quiet on Saturday mind
This Simon geezer, did he look the the spit of John Aldridge?. The game he got carried out on a stretcher was the leeds cup after andy saville chucked the ball at John deehan and he smashed a 25 yarder into the top corner witch resulted in mental scenes in the ponty, we all ran and jumped down to the bottom wall and in the wild celebrations may have accidently sparked simon out, I think he may switched to the brewery stand after that, soz simon, sithi.
Don't know about his nickname if he had one but I used to sit near an old fella who constantly branded different players "Tarns worst player" he said in league 1 "Hourihane is Tarn's worst player" think he missed a sitter but at the time I seem to remember he was our top scorer with 7 or 8. I said he'll come good and he is our top scorer. 2nd half he chose a different "Worst Tarn Player" Dime Family, Front row of the East Lower a family of four all got dime bars out at half time. Made me chuckle on a few occasions!!
