Blackjack, Jiffy, Angus, Larry the Limp, Paddy Walsh, The Pascoes, John Feeney, Chris Saunders, Heavy Duty, Moussah, and Boner spring to mind. Blackjack and Moussah had brothers who were well-known. Some of those that followed City in those days, were bitter enemies “off the pitch”, who put their differences aside temporarily on match days.

Without wishing to belittle your memories Joe, I couldn't help read this and not think of "the Tiddlywinking Leapfroggers" as described by George in the last episode of Blackadder Goes Forth. "George: Well, er, Jacko and the Badger bought it at the first Ypres front, unfortunately — quite a shock, that. I remember Bumfluff’s house-master wrote and told me that Sticky had been out for a duck, and the Gubber had snitched a parcel sausage-end and gone goose over-stump frogside. Edmund: Meaning…? George: I don’t know, sir, but I read in the Times that they’d both been killed. Edmund: And Bumfluff himself…? George: Copped a packet at Gallipoli with the Aussies — so had Drippy and Strangely Brown. I remember we heard on the first morning of the Somme when Titch and Mr Floppy got gassed back to Blighty. Edmund: Which leaves…? George: Gosh, yes, I, I suppose I’m the only one of the Trinity Tiddlers still alive. (Lummy?), there’s a thought — and not a jolly one." I see Strangely Brown as one of the great names in British comedy. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open End Numb Legs Posted February 21 Report Share Posted February 21 My cricket team mates morphed my surname over a couple of seasons until it became similar to part of the female anatomy. That was fine by me until days when my family turned up to watch and everyone heard the skipper shouting my name across the pitch as he moved the fielders. '******, 5 yards to your left!'

That's a really bad decision as you are killing off your future support by stopping families from going. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
