marksy Posted July 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 The few times i traveled on his coaches always used to be a laugh. I can remember going to Birmingham City. As we approached the ground we all started getting a bit too excited and Beanie had to calm us down. I can still remember his words " Wait till you get off the coach, then count to ten and go wild " It was a fun day ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thick specs, a non descript carrier bag in one hand and a programme in the other, dancing away. Wonder if he still goes, or kissed a girl for that matter?

Wonder if he still goes, or kissed a girl for that matter? Last I heard he attended some club event and asked Danny Wilson some question on selection/ tactics or whatever and Wilson made some dig at him. Old beaner never came back after that. I wonder what he is upto these days, poor guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gasincider Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 Remember Beenie back in the day. He ran coaches for you , and I ran em for us. Sad to hear he's not in t.he best of health. Rivalry is one thing, but health is far more important. Best wishes and pack up the fags matey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did he travel on CATs for a while in the 80s? not sure if I have the right one? the one i am thinking of got the name Beenie on account of the fact he looked just like Mr Bean in his suit and thick glasses. I could never quite work out if he was being bullied or if he revelled in it. At times he seemed happy to do his dance at others it seemed like he was being forced.

Unless he has radically changed his appearance I haven't seen him at an away game for years. At a few away games in the late 80s you would have hundreds of City fans chanting 'one Mr Bean, there's only one Mr Bean'. I could never quite work out whether he loved the 'celebrity' or was dying inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, had an incredible memory, could remember all scores and goslscorers from all city games, he also remembered everyone's birthday and was able to tell you what day you were born on!!

Yes that is right, he must have been on the autistic spectrum, real character. So many characters on those coaches, great entertainment on long journeys.
