Dickie Mint was his nick name back in the 70s, 80s & 90s... there is another bloke nicknamed badger... he has hundreds of metal badges on an old scarf and just as many on his coat..

Top left-ish new Kippax (as you would see it from the Main Stand opposite). Few lads just kept singing 'Ciity Ciiity, the best team in the land in all the world'. Feels like they hardly stopped, game after game.
Rest of us were slagging off Nicky Summerbee
Edit: not top top - top below the boxes. If you know what I mean.

Badger's brilliant. You'll have seen him in Grey Mare Lane pubs for years. He was a double act with his now deceased brother Tom. Both characters.

My old man who'd be 103 now was a bit of a character at City games.
We all went to the 6th round cup game at Leeds in March 1967. We got split up,we went on to the open end & he decided to go in the Scratching Shed. After Charlton scored there was a punch up with bobbies helmets flying about. Next minute my old man,who was well into his fifties was thrown over the wall and frog marched round the pitch,down the tunnel & ejected. When we got back to the coach he just said "don't tell your mother".
He later explained "that a Yorkie stumbled, my knee automatically jerked up and I found myself stood on him". He hated everything to do with Yorkshire !!! We've pissed ourselves talking about it over the years & till this day my mother who's 90 now still knows nothing about it.

I loved this.The bloke with the french horn who played "the Vikings" tune
I know the "Best team in all the land in all the world" song came from it but it doesn't have quite the impact that preceding it with a "Da-Da Da. Da-Da, Da. Da-Da Da-Da Da-Da, Da-Da Da_Da" introduction.
We need to bring it back...
