Guest wistowowl Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 (edited) I've grown up sitting in the South stand as my Dad was a season ticket holder for the past 20 some years. I have sat on the Kop plenty of times as well and traveled to quite a few away games so I have seen my fair share of the one and only Tango!! I once shook his hand at a friendly at Huddersfield about 10 years ago and always thought of him as a Fans fave...............However!! Last night and the last 2/3 home games I have attended I have noticed that some supporters (actually quite a few) seem not to be too fond of his bare chested, chant enducing antics. I dont go to enough games to have an opinion on him so I wondered what other people thought of this? Is he good for the atmosphere? He always seems to start well and then fade towards the 70th minute........... Edited January 26, 2011 by wistowowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euse Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I've always been a fan of Tango. He's voicetrous (in a positive way) towards the team and has been to every home & away game that I've attended (so a loyal fan). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because he knows he has to travel all the way back to the Black country having already had to do it to get up here, usually without a win to celebrate for his efforts. The guy is a pleasant, and polite ( if you can understand Noddy Holder speak), who brings no trouble, and puts his Money where his mouth is by being a home and away S/T Holder, even though every games is an away game, wish we had more like Paul.

Lee A Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 (edited) Bumped into him at Brentford this year, could hardly understand a word he said. Harmless enough bloke, some may not love him but dont really see how anybody could object to him. Also have to give the guy credit, if I went shirtless in temperatures of -3, id be seriously ill. Hats off to him. Edited January 26, 2011 by leea8331 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet you wouldnt be able to last 90 mins topless in these cold temps at night matches and after singing all time for 70 mins I would be out of breath I dont know about you?. I think he is nice guy and has Wednesday at his heart way he must do as he comes game after game home and away and lives in Birmingham I think.

Orlando_Trustful Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 LEGEND. Love sitting/standing near him at away games. To follow Wednesday like he does to near enough every single game all season is an incredible flipping effort, especially considering how poo we are.

sheffield_dave Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I don't why anybody would dislike him. He puts his money where his mouth is, attends home and away games without faily despite travelling from Wolves for both. He's harmless, gets the crowd going and engages in some good banter with away supporters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1884Owl Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Decent bloke. I rocked up at Colchester this season with my Mrs and parked up the ground with intention of making way into town. Tango was stood in the car park and had just ordered a taxi for him and a couple of others to get into town. I asked him for the number for taxi firm, instead he rang em back and got them to send a bigger one so me and the Mrs could jump in with him which I thort was good of him. He is always good fun and gets the crowd going... best thing about Tango is that he loves Wednesday.... for that he gets the thumbs up from me.

Ronnie Starling Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I can't understand why people moan about Tango. He pays his money supports the team and trys to get a positive atmosphere going. He was even chanting Alan Alan give us wave last night now that is optimism. There are far worse people that spoil the good name of Sheffield Wednesday FC.
