The jacket bloke is deffo from down south - I've pretty sure I've got on the train with him a few times when I'm heading darn sarf. I saw him walking outside the Merc garage after the Fulham game.

was it Debbie that use to run about with Donald and all that crew?

 

[The Iceman Cometh]

The guy with the coat and all the badges is called 'scotch pete',me and my mates used to stand near him on the kippax very early eighties,at the time he was living in scotland and used to go every match home and away,unbelievable! he is a top bloke and has time for any blues,like a previous poster said this guy deserves recognition,its also very strange how he has not changed or seemed to have aged hardy since the early eighties considering the ride that is the manchester city roller coaster he has been on with us all???

I was amazed when I saw him the other week for the first time in around 15 years and he looked EXACTLY the same. Like LongsightM13 said, if someone sees him tomorrow try and get a photo with him and put it on here.

We saw him in a Pie and eel shop next to the Boleyn ground (sven's first game in charge). Walked in, bold as brass, like a walking souveneir shop!
Surely must be close for some sort of claim to living legend.

Does anyone remember Mick the idiot from Gorton who used to have rats in his pockets? Think he got banged away in the 70's.

What about frank & imari(viradi) banana the one who started the imflatable craze in the 80's.He also sold one of the fanzines in the kippax.

Quite a few on here have mentioned Debbie or (Kippax Debbie) as Mickey Francis spoke of her in his book. Was she as mental as they say she was and how old was she exactly?

Seems quite unique that City had a lass on the frontline. :)

quote]Remember Les well. Stayed with him at his Aunts in Windsor during a double header in London. He dragged me to Cold Trafford one night while we were queing for Derby tickets, just so we could abuse united fans. I rememder a guy called Gypo who could look after himself. Anyone recall Tiny Davies. Think he managed Mercer Celtic.[/quote]

Was Tiny the fella that used to wear a small coppers helmet on his head? Had his crew part the crowd so he get to the same spot on the Kippax every week.
