Dolman Block B Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Anyone agreeing with this little list -Tony HarlingBeanieStoney Garnett Give credit where its due, Stoney is certainly a legend. Think i know every one of his 100 jokes, heard them on coaches, trains, pubs, clubs, everywhere. Still makes me laugh thou. Sits 10 yards behind me every game and what with all his red and white clothing on, and the abuse he likes to give the away bench he always brings a smile to my face.Been down the gate for as long as i can remember and in my eyes is one of our legendnary fans. I hope you all agree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peaceful times I remember the dart heading incident although i remember it being outside the turnstiles of the away end waiting for the turnstiles to open. The bloke with the dart in his head was enquiring "who ****** threw that". Was 14 at the time and never seen anthing like it before, or since!

His two weeks in the Algarve consisted of getting up at 3pm sitting by the pool till there was a game on in bar followed by a meal in a restaurant then it was drink through till 6am.This routine was only disturbed on the days when England played when of course Bean would attend.Next day re-establish routine. 100% Legend!

22A Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 One for our older members.My dad has told me that in the 50s and early 60s City provided a service to blind peolple where a trained sighted person would be sat next to them and would describe what was hapening in the game. Despite this, there was one blind man who went and stood on the Open End and would shout out comments such as "That player's useless", "Bet he won't pass" and so forth. Eventually some other spectators would take offence to this string of comments and occasionally he'd be told to shut up or they'd sort him out. The blind man's mates would then turn on the other fan. Yes the blind man got his kicks by deliberately causing trouble.Can any of our pensioners back this story up please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
