There was one called Yes Sir who relayed us some inside info now and again and was a relation of the Johnson's I believe. Was only thinking of Beaner the other day, you could tell him the date of your birthday once and ask him what it was a year later what is was and he could remember. not often was he wrong with a football score, I’ve not seen him for probably 10-15 years now, i hope he’s well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That photo of him checking the city score at a rovers game is an absolute classic. Good bit of self deprecation with him setting it at his profile pic.

Reason being I had a Dolly I carried round in a bag, and everyone called me “Dolly bag lady.” Other half and step kids call me Dolly, and my mum does too.

Peter O Hanraha-hanrahan Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 Someone mentioned Barr’s Court Red who was the Moomin Liberation Front when I joined. Wonder if they still post on here with a different name? Good poster. Don’t know if anyone remembers a Yeovil fan called Russell’s Salad who HAD a very UNIQUE posting STYLE where he WOULD shout different WORDS in HIS posts FOR no apparent REASON?

Lots of people seemed to be offended by him but I think that was because they didn’t agree with his forthright views on certain personnel as opposed to how he was arguing his points.

Over 27k 'likes' in 19k posts would probably make him the most popular (at least, most agreed with) poster ever on here. Hope Bob's just taking a break, OTIB is much the poorer for his absence.

I thought of using a name associated with the great City side of 1905-1911, and started with the goalkeeper Harry Clay, although I am not a keeper, the name handsofclay immediately sprang to mind and I thought it sounded good so have kept it ever since.
