It's was widely rumoured some time ago that Banksy was believed to be a Bristolian gent named Robin Gunningham. There are many articles online now suggesting that Banksy is almost certainly this guy. This has probably been asked on here before but does anyone on here know Robin? Did you go to school with him? Have you seen him since school? If you know/knew him do you believe he is Banksy or did you already know? He's supposidly a city fan. Has he ever been seen at the gate? It's amazing that someone hasn't come out and revealed his identity or that he hasn't been caught by police or on cctv.

I used to live with a few lads who went to school with Robin.  I've had a beer with him in the Coopers (12-13 years ago).  I can safely say that he may or may not be Banksy.

Schroedinger's Banksy?

The rumour I always heard is that his surname is 'Banks' and that he went to school in Yate.  Hence the nickname 'Banksy'.

He definitely is a City fan because he mentioned us in an interview once.  Easily our most famous fan, yet he barely gets mentioned!

People from Bristol's street art community including his former friends/peers - 3D, Cheo, Inkie, Sepr .. Have used their skills at times to promote Bristol City FC.

The worlds most famous street artist has not. It would be a positive to be proved spectacularly wrong, but he appears not particularly interested in Bristol City FC.

...no truth in the rumour that he's been working as a 'cladder' on the West Stand then? .... His biggest and best ever work is a huge creation on the West stands block work, seen only by Banksy for his eyes only then promptly covered over and hid from the World with cladding installed by the man himself..?

There's no smoke without fire! :)
