Daft Donald spotting game.....

[der-bomber]

Got turfed off a train in some Herfordshire shithole, St Albans l think ,for not having a ticket after Watford away ,early nineties. BR must have been having a purge or something and there was this little huddle of us blues all feeling sorry for ourselves on a dark, cold deserted platform.
Next minute there is the tinkling of a bell and DF appears round the corner on a posties bike and proceeds to pedal it up and down the platform, ringing the bell at every opportunity, lifted everyones spirits.

He then assumed command of our little group and hatched a cunning plan to hi-jack a bus and drive home, fortunately sanity prevailed and we got on the next train with no more dramas.

He still calls me 'Mike' even though that is not my name and i have given up telling him otherwise.

he was citys answer to that utd prick who wrote his autobiography not long ago(not gonna mention his name,the prick thinks he's important enough as it is)the pair of em got more seconds than oliver twist,more often than not they'd get mugged into getting stuck in by saner,stronger 'pals',who would take a back seat and piss their self at how simple they were.
always a good laugh(for about 5 minutes)when you'd not seen him for a while though

I was waiting for a pie at the back of the old Kippax back in the 80`s when Donald pushed in front of me & said `ere yar watch this blag`.
He picked up a half eaten pie from off the floor & put half a match stick inside the filling, when it was his turn in the queue he said to the girl behind the counter
`av jus found this in me pie gis a new one`
the girl replied `fuck off donald you tried that one last week`
He then slipped off laughing to himself no doubt thinking about the next blag!!

Donald did some barmy things in his time- had a tidy little firm of his own as well!!

Problem was as everybody got older his "firm" got younger - He was like Fagin with a load of 15 year olds hanging around him - shame really cos he was a top nutter.

Always remember him trying to kick the door down of the press lounge (Maine Road) at half time to tear the head off the mirror reporter. It was the next home game after the mansfield (Autowindshields cup) game and the Rag Trafford (Champs league game) comparison pictures on the back page of the Daily mirror. There was quite a few going at it but he was the only one to get arrested - the press missed the first fifteen minutes of the second half cause they were all too scared to come out of the lounge.

Does anyone remember Bulldog and Alfie Stewart who used to knock around with them? And what happened to them... not seen them for years.

World Cup 1990 - hid in the toilets on the train(s) whilst guards were checking tickets.

Seen later that day "talking" to an American couple who were eating their breakfast.

A true legend!

i was deported home from italy 90 with him, bit far to call him a legend but he is a defo one off...
