Mad Cyril Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 Gutted to hear of the sad passing of Prince, a true red to the core. Many of us will have fond memories of this guy back in the day across the terraces following City. I recall many a time when Prince would lead the attack or come to the rescue of one of our own who had fallen to the blows of another firm. He was fearless and knew how to deck a mouthy gashead with one shot. Known for a while as 'Symbol' because of the designs he would leave on the opposition courtesy of his Stanley knife, he really was one of our top boys. Coming hot on the heals of the passing of another top red, Victoria Wood (Woody) who lead the famed Bury Cidereds faction, it is shocking how many reds we are losing this year. Many of you will also have fond memories of Prince, a fine red and proper nawty top boy, and will want to share your stories here. Rest in peace in the big cider house in the sky.

054123 Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 Sad that only in death can we have a good giggle about his exploits as it was just the way it was back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Cyril Posted April 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 I remember a Tuesday night at Birmingham. A group of us had taken over a pub in the back lanes. We were playing pool and having a pint when in burst 20 Zulus looking to bag some reds. Hopelessly outnumbered, we braced ourselves for a good kicking, but Prince stood tall. He shouted for us to only lob the glasses, keep the bottles for the close up work. Then taking the pool cues, he and Jackson charged forward and downed their top boy. All hell broke loose but eventually the Brummies were chased off dragging their wounded and fallen with them. Top, top Red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even though it was £45 it didn't stop him partying like it was £19.99. Legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Skin Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 You could always spot him on CCTV in amongst it wearing his raspberry beret leading from the front . I understand this will be laid atop his coffin next to his BCFC mittens whilst a lone piper plays 'Drink up ye Zyder". He's with friend and long time collaborator, Adge, now. RIP fellow red.

Reigate Red Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 Despite his fearsome reputation he always seemed to have a soft spot for vegetables - always talking about his red courgette. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slartibartfast Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 Don't forget Woody, or as the court recorder would frequently say...." Victoria Wood, as seen on CCTV" !

Mad Cyril Posted April 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 FFS. Just heard Chyna is brown bread! Absolutely gutted. Top girl, top fighter, top City Red. Legendary red. Presumably cornered and stabbed at an away game. More than once she lead the line against bigger numbers and never once backed down. Would go topless whatever the weather on the terraces and was copied by more than one Geordie fatboy. What the hell is going on? Reds dropping everywhere. Rest in peace Chyna. I loved that porno you shot in the Nibor kit. Legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
