anyway, when i saw him i asked how he was and gave him a man hug, he fully embraced me and said how he missed me and was glad he'd saw me. my lad doesn't really know him as we live out of manchester now so rarely see him. when i said to my lad "this is your uncle mike, your grandma's brother", mike looked at me so confused as to what the fuck was i on about. i realised he didn't have a clue who i was so said "mike, it's me kev." it dawned on the old goat and he hugged me all over again.
this bloke is piss funny, city through and through and has some fantastic tales to tell from away days gone by. anyone know who i'm on about and have any stories of his escapades?
I know this fella Kev, he's from Eccles and has Badger on the back of his shirt, think it's his nickname.He drinks in Eccles in the Packet. Similar thing happened to me with him the other week. I used to see him at the bus stop in Eccles and pick him up and take him to the match when I lived in Eccles (Maine Road days) went over to talk to him and then realised he didnt have a Scooby Doo who I was. He is always bladdered with a bright red face. Good guy though and that scarf will be worth a few quid one day :)

whoa, guvnor's son. that's him. he's my uncle and i never knew his nickname was badger until i saw it printed on the back of his shirt yesterday.
this is a bloke who :
1. bought me and our kid city & united teams in subbuteo one year for christmas. upon arriving at ours after city and a piss up on boxing day, he proceeded to invade the pitch to cross the room. suspiciously, he managed to break the legs of three rag players whilst leaving city's team unscathed.
2. woke up outside a pub in millwall after an away game in the late '80's having been beaten up. his first thought was to check for his scarf which he still had. he wasn't too bothered that his wallet and train ticket were gone.
3. started a mass brawl in a boozer after a maine road derby in town with a wedding party. having insulted the bride, he was confronted by the groom who he told to "fuck off you red bastard before i deck you". cue a scene from the ok corral as me and his lad watched in bewilderment.

not sure. i used to sup in the beehive and rarely if ever saw him in there. the man would cause a fucking riot if he was unleashed into the stretford end.
after united played porto away in the '90's (the match where rags were being shot at with rubber bullets) we were in wangies with him in eccles. he's stood in a pub full of reds reading the report out of the pink at the top of his voice and throwing his own take on events into his commentary. things like "i think them portugese coppers were out of order doing that. they should have used proper bullets in a machine gun, they'd have got more of the bastards."
the amount of times i've had to neck the best part of a pint and drag him out for his own safety is staggering.

loads of different team badges on there as well. he'll let anybody put any teams badge on his scarf. there's only one club he won't allow on there......
he takes a great pride in rescuing me and his son from potential ragness and calls my red older brother "the one that got away".
cheers for giving him a lift when you did. how did you know him?

We call him City man and there has been various stories as to who he really is and where he actually lives but you can guarantee if you are travelling from the South to watch City you will always see him at some stage – I have no idea why he does but I think he travels to Milton Keynes to travel to Manchester – We saw him around 9pm heading down the steps at MK station so he was going somewhere
