0wl4life Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 When I was a kid - in the late 60's and early 70's - there used to be a disabled fella who used to attend all the home games in a weird 'heath robinson' type self propelled wheelchair. It was like a long enclosed bath tub which he used to lay down in and pedal himself with his hands. It was blue. I used to see him pedalling himself up Penistone Road amongst the crowd and traffic towards Wadsley Bridge after the games. Even as a kid I thought he was some loyal fan. Was always on his own I think. No one helping him. Also I always remember queueing up outside the Kop to get in and there used to be bloke with a banner on a long pole proclaiming and shouting that that the World was going to end. I suppose he's been proved right, in football terms. Does anyone remember them? I remember the old fella well,,,,often gave him a push from just after the bridge,(so he wasn't always on his own,),his name was Don,,, I remember Sammy too,,,what an ugly mug he was,,but a real character,,,,Sammeee Sammeeee i'd walk a mile an a bit to shove yer face in some poo poo ohh Sa-aa-meeee,,,anyone remember badge ? covered in badges,,hence the name i rekon,,another old Kop dweller,,,aahhhh good times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Could be Shane?? Thought he might be someone on here. Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 what about Sammy? before my time but ive heard some good stories! Sammy was fearless. He'd set about the opposition supporters on his own. I forget where it was but he climbed on the roof at one ground. Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife.

since59owe Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 I love my fellow Wednesdayites, we have always been blessed with some real characters. In my younger days Sammy was the legend, it's good to see that we still produce some excentric characters. I saw Tango in the bar at Scunny singing his Giles Coke song, that guy has one powerful voice. How ( out of intrest ) does it sound ( the words to it I mean) not his voice.
