Does Anybody Remember/know Of

A bloke who used to stand on Burnden Terrace in the Rioch era, near the fencing that seperated us from the away fans. He was pretty tall, wore glasses and had blonde hair as I recall. Always you to start that chant off 'Everywhere we go - people want to know' and so on. Bloody hell he was loud!

 

Anyone on here aware of him? Or maybe you are him?

I was basing my research on the fact that he's propably lurking somewhere at the Reebok. Although come to think of it, perhaps not. We could do with a few more like him though.

 

Does anyone on here actually try to start songs? I didn't used to mind at Burnden as you'd be largely anonymous if nobody joined in. Must have tried once or twice at best at the Reebok and then looked around furlornly as people gazed at me in silence. There's only so many times I can deal with the humiliation before learning it's better to leave it to people like 'The Giant'

only one i can remember is camouflage jacket ste , who apparently doesnt go to the reebok .

Was he a half way line pot smoker?

 

Update on 'The Giant'. He may have worn one of those matchwinner coats with Reebok written on the back that used to start peeling off after about 5 minutes. I'm not 100% sure so that's propably not a great help.

I don't recall him but I do remember that bloke who used to go round the running track in that invalid car thing and come to think of it i swear he sits near me in the ESL now always on his feet giving the team shite he's a right tit - got dwarfism or something not that i'd hold that against him obviously.
