He followed cardiff away alot in the early to mid 90s cause he was banned from west brom.
Always drunk and quite funny to watch he was about 40 with a moustache ..

He was funny. Up in torquay around 1990 it was scorching and he asked to borrow my beanie hat about half hour later he ran onto the pitch i shouted oi my fecking hat he turned ran upto me gave me my hat and ran back on to the pitch :lol:
I think he got thrown out of every away game he attended.
Last time i saw him was walking through the enfield end drunk as feck with a cardiff top on singing and clapping :lol:

Went on a City trip to Torquay once with a load of boys from Tredegar and they had a West Brom fan with them who was nuts in fact they were all nuts :D It was one hell of a trip and the driver of our mini bus plus a couple of other Tredegar nutters including the West Brom fan got arrested :o

When we all got back to the bus there was a discussion between everyone as to who was going to drive home and this was decided by who had the least too drink so we ended up with a lunatic from Tredegar who had drunk 7 pints (He confessed to) driving us home :lol:

One of the best City trips I have ever been on absolutely bonkers :ayatollah: :D

true, but still, "HAHAHAHA we were all drunk and drove 200 miles home" is hardly comedy gold.

plus it was the 90s, not like it was a bygone era

I think we,'ve all grown up now.lucky to be here a few of us.I take my son down the city,would be embarrassed if he got to know what we used to get up to.I,'ll be able to pass my experiences on to him and make sure he doesn't go down the same road as me.

A) I haven't laughed at it.
B) I haven't promoted it.

It was a stupid idea, but amusing 20 or so years on.

Its none of my business though....or yours.

I think it might well have been the trip you referred to because I am pretty sure that the West Brom fan was Colin and he definitely got arrested for running on the pitch and there was a photo of him in the Echo on the Monday mad as a box of frogs and a mad mad trip :D :lol:
