Tin Tin, crazy little f**ker but funny with it, not seen him for ages, think he moved to the South West or am I thinking of Deno?

Deno definitely moved to the south west and put in an appearance or two at Yeovil games, I've heard he's moved back up here now.

You don't see me there much anymore.
I'm sure Denno was at Stoke with J***o.
They were up there with Abbot and Costello, Eric and Ernie, Jason and Kylie as a double act!
Always entertaining to put it mildly.

Paul Gilligan was a regular fan / photographer throughout our Conference days .

Paul was a fan for a long time, going back to the sixties. Unfortunately someone at the club pissed him off big style and as a result he's severed all links with DRFC. He doesn't go to games any longer. Sad really.

Got me thinking what ever came of the old director Peter Wetzel? Excuse spelling if I got it wrong. I knew he sold his shares around 2009/2010 but wondered if he had ever resurfaced.
Always found him polite when I spoke to him.

John something, the guy who used to video all the matches back when we were in the Conference. He's disappeared. He did get himself a nice new lady friend some years back now but he's disappeared from my Mum's life too - he was a general handyman and fix it bloke who did shed loads in her house. Mind you, he walked off with most of her tools in the process. And plenty of mine.

Pirate & Ade, the two who were always face painted up. Not so much Ade, did see him at a few games last season.

Does anyone remember a bloke called "Haigy" who used to wear a long blonde wig and a red and white cardigan.
He was a regular in the 60's and a kind of leader of the home end and away fans.
There was also a girl called Sue who went to loads of away games with Haigy and his band of regulars.

Haighy (Brian) lived in Hexthorpe and seemed to disappear about 1970. His elder brother (Pete) was a lot taller and ended up in a wheelchair but still attended games until a few seasons ago.
Some years ago Ken Avis told me that Sue used to meet her son off the coach after away games. Maybe he still goes.

I remember them, Sue was fit.

I remember Sue. Sue Hirst.
Allegedly, once she was on the back seat of the coach to an away match. Got her books out and flashed them to the following motorists. Nearly caused a pile up apparently.

tommy toes · « **Reply #15 on** June 02, 2015, 05:29:39 pm by tommy toes »

Boobs..not books! Ruddy predictive texts.

drfc1951 · « **Reply #16 on** June 02, 2015, 05:37:47 pm by drfc1951 »

I think she did it more than once, always on back seat of coach with same lads every game.

drfchound · « **Reply #17 on** June 02, 2015, 08:01:12 pm by drfchound »

I was on the us that day.

I remember Paul Gillian as a kid. I always used to remember him walking into the sponsors lounge at BV after a game and filling his denim jacket pockets with tins of John Smiths then leaving swiftly.

Peter wetzel went busy didn't he after M&S cancelled his companies contract with them.

Chris Black come back · « **Reply #19 on** June 02, 2015, 09:25:09 pm by Chris Black come back »

Wetzel was SR Gent. Think back when their big site near station closed. Probably around time he rolled out of Rovers. On and off he put a lot into the club. Top bloke.

Dare I ask for an update on what has happened to Tetley in recent years?

Is he at liberty at present, if you know what I mean?

That was a regular Pop Side refrain in late 90s.

Hound...Were you on the train to Halifax when Sue was laying on the luggage rack, she had done a few of the lads that journey, yes very popular and lived I believe in Hyde Park, cracking looking.

Haighy did himself an injury the story being he got set on fire, When I was on the beat in Kirk Sandall, he used to live near the school on Graham Rd, not seen him for years but last time he was failing sadly. Him and Archie were a right pair, Archie being from Goldthorpe and had a strange resemblance to the late Paul Shane from Mexborough.

Good Days them.

Don't know if "Uredz" (Mark) attends games anymore with his pal, who's name escapes me. Both used to post a lot on here, but haven't heard owt from them in ages. I did spot Mark going into Sainsbury's at Edenthorpe a few days ago, but didn't get the chance to speak to him as we just said hi in passing. Used to enjoy their posts, very funny the pair of 'em.
