who was the copper with the raggy tash always got plent of abuse walking past the 3d stand

Can't remember his name but he was a good un. He used to do a lot of the away games and always kept and eye out for us and told us when to wind our neks in if we were going too far.

He was our very own away day security.Him and a couple of his colleagues travelled to all away games with FC just to make sure we were safe



Last time I saw him he was outside a pub in town videoing City fans before a game with Derby.He went white when he saw me till I told him I was only going for a pint and hadnt started watching the Tiggers.

They new you were in safe hands.Still LMAO at you and young Pooley in that strip joint in Soho.

After I saw the price of a drink, there was no way I was going to lay a finger on her. I had pins and needles in my hands for about an hour because I was sat on them that hard.

A great first wembley weekend and taste of the big smoke for a fresh faced 17 year old.

Is that big supermarket in Hessle still shifting them videos or its more likely to be on dvd now

wasnt he the one with the glasses whos glasses apparantly kept falling down his nose during his performance and had to keep pushing em back up

Don't know,I never saw the tape :

That is he...dont know where he is now,last I heard he was working in Grimsby.He follows the tiggers more now and I believe he fancies himself as a hooligan,although this is uncorroborated!!!

Class video at the time,put me off cucumber and bottled beer for a while tho

Ok Jimmy,I will give you that 1

Well thank you.

Your welcome.When are you next over,we could go to the greyhound racing and hurl abuse at the dogs just to bring back some of that 3d,s atmosphere.

Only if you gather up everyone else as well-even Paul Griffin

Wonder if he is still wired for sound

I remember a guy called John Cass... not seen or heard of him since the days of the late 70`s.... always wore a bowler hat. He ran the Catley Coach trips from George on Walton street. Always remember at Keighley where the stand sort of went lower than pich level.... there was a copper stood on pitch side and John enticed him into the crowd and swapped his bowler for the police helmet.... what a laugh, cant remember if he got arrested or not tho.

Remember a game at York one Boxing day morning.The oval ball bar behind the stand had opened early and when we went in it was full of Hull fans cheering.Upon further inspection there was JC bent over the snooker table with just a feather sticking out of his nal

One of my funniest memories was an away game at Sheffield, I think it may have been the Yorkshire cup semi final where Jacko scored the fastest every try after 9 seconds. It was in the early 90’s when we had introduced the purple into our shirt.

Karl and the TLO had that big black, white and purple flag made and loads of us from the 3d stand contributed to the cost. It got its regular unveiling, much to the annoyance of people who were behind us in the boxes, who claimed they could not see. A couple of bobbies came up and asked us to put it away, which we did. However, as soon as they had gone, out came the flag again. This tit for tat went on for around 5mins, until one of the coppers grabbed hold of one end of the flag.

One by one around 5 or so officers got hold of the flag and seemed to challenge around 20 or 30 FC fans to a tug of war, only we weren’t interested and all let go at the same time, resulting in the Police officers hurtling down the steps of the Don Valley stadium , to the amusement of the black and white army

I know, he was a right character.... another time in London for the CC Final, we were walking through the streets late on a night and he dropped his trousers and undies.... and placed his d**k into the exhaust pipe of a Rolls Royce that was parked up and shouted "THERE, I BET I`M THE ONLY ONE IN THE WORLD WHO HAS F****D A ROLLS ROYCE"... I dont know how we never got arrested... happy days.

wasnt his name John Forsyth?

Every time this thread comes up I post this, but I'm going to do it again.

Watching Adam Hughes being systematically destroyed by the 3d stand after dropping a ball that lead to one of our tries. We were on his back for the entire game after that and he couldn't do a thing right. Every subsequent mistake was cheered like we'd won the cup final and accompanied by another chorus of "aaadaaaaaaam" or "there's only one Adam Hughes". I enjoyed it immensely.

Give it to adam!!

Remember that well....... Hughes got the ball, dropped it, I think David Maiden scooped it up and scored... Every time Widnes had the ball we would sing " GIVE IT TO ADAM..... GIVE IT TO ADAM..... GIVE IT TO ADAM"

"We love you Adam, we do..."
