asteener1867 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Rightio...this sounds weird..but theres a Wednesday fan...I saw him Saturday..Ive seen him since I was a kid..and he never ages...I saw him in 1960..I saw him in'91..I saw him in '93...Ive seen him at Cardiff..ive seen him at Shrewsbury...ive seen him everwhere...he's very small and he's a nuisance...he just walks up an' starts a random conversation...he's got longish black hair..looks about 12....always has done..never with anybody always on his own..home or away..... Years ago i read a book about the "Wanderin' Jew"...a bloke who refused Jesus a glass of water as he made his way up to the cross on Calvary..and was cursed with wanderin' the world forever...I think...at Hillsboro'..we have someone similar. Ive thought about posting this...was gonna do it a couple of years ago...but I thought..."No they'll think you are mad...but after Saturday...I made me mind up...cos he accosted me at the bottom of the ramp..on the Kop...me lad was there ..and Tez owl..who doesn't post much on here lately...an' tez's daughter...and we all agreed we had seen him for years..an' he never looks any older...never.... I saw him in the 70's...I saw him in the 80's...the 90's..and last Saturday.... You would think an Immortal Wednesdayite would be full of wisdom an' pathos an' stoicism, but he isn't.....he whitters crap...and i'm intrigued..bemused...and a little bit frightened....

Prendo's boots Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I know what you mean...funny that ,we were saying at the Cardiff away game that theres a few about and as you say look exactly the same..theres actually 3 that hang around together and still wear their denim jackets...usually see them at away games and get a grunt or a nod...one I havent seen for a while however is the guy who looked like a sealion at the front of the South...always berating the lino and opposition managers/trainers wingers...where did he go???

nevthelodgemoorowl Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 They're timeless Ghosts mate they were all here Cheering the Owls to their 5-5 draw against Everton after we were 5-1 down at half time, that was November 1904. Thing is they still had those denim jackets, they were the only ones in the ground without flat caps. They have always had the tag of timeless wierdos.

Was that the guy that looked like the old bloke in roadhouse? If so, then I was thinking the same on Saturday. He once gave a blunt a right cow tailer when they scored at our place and he jumped up next to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I know who you mean, although his hair is slightly greyer now than it used to be. Used to wear a biker jacket all the time, at one time. I think his name is Dorian Gray.

Leaping Lannys Perm Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Seems to me the answer is obvious. Most of the years/events you mentioned are times of great success for the club. Clearly he is some kind of guardian angel for the club, who only appears when something good is going to happen. Conclusion: get your money on promotion, now!

Guest Lawrie Maddens Hump Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 (edited) Thats him!!!He sits the row down from us. Tomorrow I'm gonna ask him for a look at his driving licence, or passport to leisure to determine his age. I'll try and get a picture with him also to confirm his existence. Don't worry I'm on it- GHOSTBUSTERS!! Edited February 8, 2013 by Lawrie Maddens Hump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
