Also i remember around the same time a chap who's face was not like it should have been, one eye lower than the other & his chin/face was lobbed sided, he was not very tall, everyone would stare at him, i have a feeling it might have been a wartime injury, i also remember the bloke who used to shout really loud, a big fella that nobody wanted to argue with, his face was reddish, maybe a few to many beers before the game, he shouted at all the players on the pitch, a bit of a running commentary of abuse.

That Lincoln game he allegedly stood on the roof of the train travelling through Lincoln. Talk of characters on here wouldn't be complete without mentioning Mad Miff. He was just somthing else when talking about nutters. He was the yardstick to measure how mad Town fans were in them days.

There was the bloke in the Pontoon who shouted out “Harry, Harry, Harry” to Harry Wainman.   A user on here has this as a user name so possibly as a tribute?

His name was Derek Egglestone, he lived at North Coates, and was unfortunately was born like that. His father worked for a local farmer and he (the farmer) offered to pay for an operation when Derek was a child but was declined by his dad because of the risky nature of the operation. He died a number of years ago but was a true Town fan and a thoroughly nice bloke.
