i remember around 1990 going to an away game on a tuesday night maybe northampton or burnley and stopping in some services and wotty turns up he had hitchiked all the way from cardiff and didnt have a penny to his name.
i bought him a coffee and we sat down in the restuerant he was telling us all about his trip up when he just gets up runs off towards a guy in a suit carrying a tray towards the bin.
all we heard was hi mate the bin is full leave the tray with me ,the guy in the suit gave him a strange look but passed him the tray full of left overs and walked off.
wotty strolled up cool as f**k sat down and started dipping a half eaten bread roll into some gravy on a plate then finished off some apple pie leftovers :lol:
there was a couple sitting on the next table watching what was going on with digust on their faces and the women turned to her other half and said that mans a pig. wotty turned to her and said i didnt pay for it so call me what you f*cking like you nosey fat cow.. 2 security guards came and said he had to leave as they escorted him away he was grabbing left overs off the tables and stuffing them in a little bag on the way out :lol: he blagged his way onto our bus and into the ground for free.. :ayatollah:

I've bumped into Nigel now and again in recent years, he used to be in william hills in town a fair bit, always mentions the city but I don't think he goes to games these days. If you didn't know him you would swear he has mental health problems. I can remember him being a regular at Ninian park in the early seventies.
