Eddie Hitler Posted Tuesday at 11:51 Share Posted Tuesday at 11:51 He's a genuine fan, I saw him a couple of times in the 90s on open terraces at away grounds. And Time Team remains one of my favourite TV series. And on one season video I had he said that Alan Dicks, despite being sacked, had the consolation of having a young son, Julian. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudolf Hucker Posted Tuesday at 12:11 Share Posted Tuesday at 12:11 (edited) Many years ago, I used to be a member of the Legends Bar - a mezzanine level bar at the park end of the Dolman. Cheesley was the regular match day host. Tony Robinson was also member and I’d occasionally get to chat with him. He was a really nice bloke, very ordinary, chatty and loved the City!

Marina's Rolls Royce Posted Tuesday at 12:42 Share Posted Tuesday at 12:42 For one season 2003/2004 him and his daughter had his season ticket seats next to me and my 3 year old son in the Dolman. We often chatted mainly about History stuff but I remember him telling me he had grown up as a Spurs fan before moving to Bristol.

I think I saw him sat in the Dolman once, but thought it would be rude to stare or take a second pass. So I guess I could just be remembering someone who vaguely looked like him.

bcfcredandwhite Posted Tuesday at 12:53 Share Posted Tuesday at 12:53 I sat behind him in the Dolman once when we played Everton in the cup. As per usual we battered them without scoring (some things never change) and they scored with their first proper attack. I said to him ‘Baldrick we need one of your cunning plans’ to which he turned to me and said ‘crap isn’t it’! We lost 1-0. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offside Posted Tuesday at 16:06 Share Posted Tuesday at 16:06 It was hilarious when he was on the pitch and speaking on the tannoy in the role of Baldrick in that game against the fewers. My completely fascinating Tony Robinson story is that on the day I moved to uni in Cardiff my parents took me for something to eat in a pub and he was on a nearby table, presumably with his family. We only ended up at that pub because we got lost on the way to my halls. I also have a distant memory of seeing him on the terrace at an away game, but have no idea which one or where it was.

Mike Stone Posted Tuesday at 18:27 Share Posted Tuesday at 18:27 We sat by him in the away seats at Watford probably about 30 yrs years ago, when we were put along the side of the pitch. During the first half the lady he was with took out a blanket from the basket she was carrying and wrapped it over his legs. Needless to say we ripped it into him a bit and he loved every minute of the banter. Good bloke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds right. I think it was the .96 derby where Ago scored and they equalised towards the end promting pitch invasions wasn't it?

REDOXO Posted Tuesday at 20:28 Share Posted Tuesday at 20:28 I used to see him a lot at away games back in the 90s He did the half time draw at Brentford with Susan Tully (Grange Hill, she is quite successful directing and producing) one mid week game. I particularly remember him fist pumping in the car park at Wycombe Wanderers. We had just beaten them and I think we went on to win promotion that season. Top bloke!
