marconi Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 The old bloke with what looked like cerebral palsy in his hand pedal powered trike. He would get pushed back up Herries road by fans after the match. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm correct, my first season and I looked at that squad pic and names at the bottom in the programme and sticker book many times so hope many memory isn't failing me.

vulva Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Think Big Robs driver was called Bobo? He’s on League Cup glory. Does that Italian barber still go? Alfredo?? I used to sit in the directors box quite a lot and he was a regular back in the day. Not seen that taxi driver either for a while. Long trench coat, beard. Think his taxi reg is Taxi 1. Been to every game since God was a lad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAL Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Alfredo will be about 80/81 now. He retired a couple of years ago. Don't know whether he still goes or not though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember all these names, but I knew Albert, I was best mates with his son as a kid, spent many happy hours in Albert and Brenda's house, sadly he passed away a couple of years since. Did great work for Wednesday with the kids and as a scout, (was also a Legend to Chesterfield fans) but more importantly was a real gentleman and family man.

Always wanted to ask for her number but i was only 9. If this thread doesn't end with @Pulsar being reunited with his pre-pubesant fantasy then Owlstalk may as well close down for ever.

You remember them as the age they were, rather than the age they would be now. Don't recall Wednesday ever announcing anything, whereas they did with Clive Baker. I can still see the images of them in the silver tracksuit on the team photo circa 87/88ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great man, played at the same time as my dad. Keith, his wife & my parents were great friends after they finished playing. He actually moved back to Sheffield from the states & sadly passed away about 6 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
