'fishcake' they call him,well worth the read as it's funny


got me thinking about terrace legends at rovers

first name that came to my head was/is 'two bob shame'
this chap wopuld be outside donny train station early morning for just about
all rovers away games,his ply was 'have you got two bob please mate'
he would ask all rovers fans for 'two bob',never more never less

allways got on the train via 'jibbing' it as we all did so i guess his funds collected was his ale money,whatever was part of the rovers scene in late 1970's onwards.

'RH' who walked to the york v donny game during miners strike as this game was on a sunday.must have been 70+ donny lads sleeping all over york train station as we all went on the saturday night.as dawn was breaking 'RH' comes onto the platform and his jeans/boots were all covered in mud...'fcuk sake RH what yer been upto'....'i set off walking to york from r house late last nite and took a short cut across some farmers fields'

there must be tales by the score out there

Saturday Santa.

RH was/is a legend at Hillsbro too mate, tho sometimes I know people try to avoid him, especially if he,s had a few sherberts. How about my fave, the mad punk dwarf.............I bet there is a few on here with tales to tell about him!

the punk dwarf....fcuk me his name has slipped me mind used to allways see him
with 'C' from thorne

got his name 'J' as in capes

allways wore a black leather jacket with som'ert on the back.

its Bentley Colliery that Bully follows now

remember a trip down to Maidstone years ago (must be years ago if Maidstone were in the league/existence) when Bully got nicked for climbing the floodlights  

[retford rover]

i never get owt right, Bentleys near Broddy, doesn't he do some funraising for them as well. yes remember it well,  other names from the past, Chainy, Jock, Monty, george(get some money spent Wetzel)  Paylo (bumped into him a few times)

[Savvy]

Good shout Paul, what about Archie, Posh. snake, and Premo?

[Muttley]

heard all sorts of rumours about monty, not sure how true they were

i think chainy is currently taking a well-earned break from rovers

palo's still around

jock? is that scottish skinhead jock?

[Biggles]

Yep Bullys feckin chaos especially after a skinfull, but he's always good value.

Saw him in the Hogshead a few months back and he spotted me so started to make his way over. I apologised in advance to some of the lads i was with!!!!!!

When he fecked off i thought god its good to see him every now and then.

[Biggles]

Your right Muttley Palo's still very much around, saw him at Hillsboro the other night.


When we were at Cardiff for the JPT i got to my seat sat down and then got a tap on my shoulder. Yep.....Palo........alright yoof.....then as we were right next to Bristol Rovers he proceeded to taunt them throughout the duration of the game.......quality.

[retford rover]

no, the other jock,  now  late 40's early fities, still goes to Rovers, remember him getting arrested at Oxford united on a Tuesday night, smacked an Oxford fan in the tiolets just as the old bill walked, exit stage left.  Remember Fat Dan from Misterton, at southend so drunk just slumped onto the snow on the edge of the pitch trying to climb the wall...
The police coming onto our bus all the way from trowell services to calm things down aftersomeone think chainy broke the supporters club sign on the back of the coach,
those were the days

[scuzzer]

Hows about Tin Tin who had the best tattoo i've ever seen on his neck. I think it was a pretty shit bumble bee with a speech bubble containing the immortal line 'f**k off buzzbee' if memory serves me owt like right

Always remember the two twins from Balby (forget their names) along with Trevor Frost and big Pie man causing a major ruck in the home end at Scunny. It took at least 8 old bill to pin Pie man down.
