I once was given a cup of milk and warm water with no tea bag at Belle Vue. When he heard what was happening one of the old regulars on the Main Stand Terrace (short little red faced round bloke, glasses, ginger hair, always very shouty) who always stood in front of us turns around and says "You need to tek the c**t back young un". Wise words at the time I thought.


That sounds very much like the late Bryan Vaughan, he was never one to hold back was Bryan, I remember him pulling the head of the mascot at Chester thus making the 16/17 year old lad in the costume cry

I wondered if anyone would get him from the description. Always Main Stand Terrace, Town end side. Slap bang in the middle of the terrace with his mates. Always seemed very jolly with it and he was certainly amusing. Sobering to hear some of them are no longer with us. It seems like yesterday.

I can remember being at Northampton’s ground in the early 80s and pre kick off there was several young local kids in normal clothing and kicking a ball about in the goal area until the players came out to start the match, the kids then ran off the pitch and climbed back over the wall on to the street.

Certainly sounds like him, had the pleasure of working with him at Markham Main
