Simple question. Do you trust Daft Donald?

I met him once in the late 80’s on a Yelloways coach to Southport (not football). Said he was visiting a relative. When he got back in for the return journey, he had a full jar of sweets (like the ones at the back of a sweetshop that they weighed a 1/4 for you) that he passed around :-)
 
I remember seeing him at West Brom on Boxing Day 2000ish and loads of people were in fancy dress. He had a suit, a trilby and shades on and the rest of him was covered in bandages! He’d come as the invisible man, fantastic! Obviously he was banned at the time as usual and the spotters sussed him and had to throw him out, they were loving his cheek with wry smiles though. I was in the square in Germany ‘88 when he said he was going to kill the Russian goalie as well. An absolute legend, ‘u got 10p mate,’ defined watching city in the eighties...
 
A legendary character of which sadly there are too few about these days........even if he owes me a few bob for all those 10p's especially with inflation
 
Used to see him on Donald Francis' coach which went from Picadilly.
Memorable wed night at Brum away when they stormed the pitch and ran at us from the other end whilst we were in the away corner.
Donald and other loons were in their seats next to us waving.
All arrested and never made roll call on the coach on the way back.
"Lend me 10p fingy"
Oh my mis-spent youth!

If that is Fonzo Buller of MVITA fame from the Met in Didsbury he was also a very good footballer. Think he lives down in Cornwall / Devon these days.

Remember the Yelloways office on the high street in Heywood 70's and 80's.
