Maine Rd terrace characters

[Tbilisi]

Hung around with Bulldog and his crew at away games in the 70's & 80's. Never a dull moment, although i didn't think he matched his reputation.

There is a lot of myth,smoke and mirrors surrounding a lot of characters but that's what makes them characters,lol!

A bouncer from Coventry,now a famous author and screenwrighter,Geoff Thompson,[read watch my back] and a few of his other books,great reads,used to get threatened with HIMSELF,lol!!One time it happened he said to the bloke mouthing off,''So this Thompson bloke is a mate of yours then?''The bloke replied,''Yes and you are fucking dead!''

Geoff then says,''Well when you see that Thompson you tell him i said he's a wanker!!''....His doormates were pissing themselves laughing,classic!

Love his stuff,read some of "The Formula" when I hit a bad patch and sent him an email thanking him for helping me,he replied as well!

Also,he has a DVD that believe it or not shows you how to avoid conflict in restricted space like a bar but what to do if you cant avoid,it works!Finishes it with learn how to punch f-----g hard!

Does anyone else remember that weird looking, short bloke with the comb-over that wore cuban heels, who used to sit in the Main Stand, just above the tunnel?

No but that might be because there have been two many ciders under the bridge since those days.

Me and Jimmy O'dea spent a season on the intro to MOTD just a I've the dug out above Billy McNeil - but I'm not claiming to be a Maine Road character.

 

[Le Havre Oswald]

Does anyone remember Martin in North stand M block. Always got told off by his mum for swearing. Haha. I think he may have had Tourettes(spelling). He would always shout "Bring on Paul Dickhead" Then his Mum would say "Stop it Martin" Then Martin would reply "FUCK OFF"


This happened nearly every game. Im sorry Martin if your on here.

Yes, we used to call him Wiggy. He had a mate with blonde hair, if its the same bloke and he used to shout, "Come on City! Keep the pot boiling!"

Use to go with Tery Casey to the games..... ...

'Safeway' Bob Meehan, Abbo, Terry Casey

Abbo rings a bell. When was he going?

I have only just joined up on Bluemoon and see that I had a mention in a old thread.

Those were the days, never knowing if you would get back to car in one piece!
