Maine Rd terrace characters

[darrenwassall]

still ripping people off to fund his habit,will always be in his brothers shadow,who incidently was/is a genuine force to be reckoned with

Saw him the other week.

He once started sayying really personal stuff to me on a London tube, like "You live on Langdale Avenue, don't you?" and "You're 26, aren't you?" and all this. Whilst we knew each other's faces, I couldn't believe he knew all this stuff about me.

Then he gave me my wallet back.

Also was once in the Moon Under The Water with him after we'd been relegated.

He got his cock out and pissed in the middle of the pub in front of hundreds of people.

remember in the early to mid nineties they were raffling a signed city in the Prince of Wales pub in broughton(Terry Phelan donated it)for some charity and that wanker thought it'd be a good idea to lift it...........nice guy

Re Debs was she the blonde girl who actually moved house to be nearer Maine Rd?? She was always first in the queue for tickets and then she nipped home for flasks of hot drinks. She used to go every game in the 80's and 90's..........If it is her she couldnt have been that old, very sad

Thats Debbie D... she is moonbeam... well & truly alive... saw her last week

Is the guy in the jacket you're on about the one with about 200 badges on his scarf and flat city cap? Still see him about. You've forgot 'the end is nigh' placard guy

His nick name was Dicky Mint...I think!...still around now. He was from Glasgow originally and bought a house almost next to the ground...a City legend.

Billy... thats badger. Dicky mint was the one in the blue harrington, Blue cap, blue gloves with mcfc on, blue city holdall, with his blue city flask and his blue & white radio

Not had chance to read all the thread but don't think its been mentioned...

I used to sit just right of the North stand near the corner flag...half way up. There was always a trampy looking guy who'd stand up on his own shouting ''cittttyyyyy..........Cittttyyy''. At the same time he'd spit everywhere shouting it then just start going mad. I can just picture the bright red face of his.

Anyone else remember him or am i on my own?

sounds like the general... see earlier post in this thread

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

NO... way before then... Debbie died in 1980. Debbie was ever present mid - late 70's

Thats Debbie, well & truly alive... saw her last week
I had seen her at a home game :)

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. :)

I think she was mid 20's when she died. so would have been 18 - 20 when she was part of the crew. As game as any lad at the time....

I literally shiver when I drive past that boozer. It terrifies me.

Great thread! Ones I remember, the British Heart Foundation guy who always said if you didn't give him anything 'hope you don't need us one day' etc. Think I've seen him at Eastlands as well. He was abit annoying, but it worked, always made sure I had change to give him every week, bastard always stood at the same turnstile outside the North Stand!

Also the guy who sat next to me was a nutcase. Always threw coins at the opposing fans 'Get a coin on' every week without fail. He kicked off with a steward once because he was chewing gum (the steward). 'Yeah I'll knock you out, look at yer, chewin your fcukin chewin gum!' If he didn't like the ref he'd always say ' I bet he's a fcukin teacher' haha, I miss that crazy bastard! Probably still goes he'll only be in his 30s or 40ish now

just remembered,the corner of the kippax,next to the north stand early nineties,tall skinny bloke,who after 3 mins of every game used to shout,GET A SUB ON!

I remember him. I think his exact words were 'Put the sub on!'
