City supporters, the characters over the years.

Dai Hunt has been mentioned on the messageboard many times but who else deserves a mention? We all know at least one.

A rogues gallery more like it!

Dont know his name think he was one of two brothers who stood on the bob bank at the back towards the grange end

Who was the Downs Syndrome guy who used to wear a coppers hat - think he has passed away now - always at the games

I remember him , He was always standing outside the grandstand after the game.

i forget the names but going back to the early 80s and 90s two that i remember,
there was a smallish bloke that used to come down from hereford, he would be going nuts every game trying to get everyone singing, mad as a hatter.
Another that sticks in my mind, the eddie may promotion season there was this mental punk fella with a mohawk ect used to follow us everywhere, he was always good for a laugh.

It must be John Lee Reynolds a.k.a. Mutton chops for me. A regular feature at the Ninian Park gates for years and still around today. Even donated a sizeable sum especially for a road sweeper towards the cost of signing Phil Brignall some years ago. Also a Glammy regular at the Arms Park and Sophia Gardens on his palm beach bike. You all must have seen him.

True but there has been the rise of the message board characters over the past ten years or so. My favourite by far was Penarth Kev and his anecdotes about life in Nuclear proof boardroom in the bowls of NP, especially during the Dave Jones/Peter Ridsdale years.

He was a comic genius but sadly died about 3 years ago.

Was that a fella known as Neath Punk? Just about every book written about the Soul Crew etc. has mentioned him.

I bumped into Pongo a while back over Pengam Green tesco's. He still recognised me but we have pilled a few years on since I last saw him. Apart from that he still looks the same.

Didn't peggy die a few years ago. Always saw him on the London trips - seemed a good guy.

We had a few in port talbot one of the best one was John Henry he was known as jaws from port talbot he passed away a good few years ago hell of a boy jaws was

I remember the hippy guy outside the Grange End in the 90's with Dreadlocks. Used to sell the Bluebird Jones fanzine. Not seen him for years. Fanzine was excellent too.

A number of guys I could mention through the 70s and 80s. Would love to know if they are still going.

One or two I have come across on facebook but yet to meet up with them.

Sysie from Porth
Rawlings from Cwmbran
Maxy from Maesteg
English,s mob from Llanelli
The guy with Serbian name from Pontypridd
Woody from Tredegar

Remember him starting a chant in Fulham on a Friday night when Jimmy Hill was there.

His trainers or "fence creepers" always immaculate.

I knew Dilly very well.
Cardiff fans were banned one season from watching the Jacks away so me Dilly and about 30 of us managed to get to Neath for a drink in the afternoon but couldn't travel any further because of the police. The police even stopped us taking taxis from Cardiff. When Jack fans came back after the match it all kicked off.
Cutting a long story short, me and Dilly along with 10 others were wrongly....... thrown in the back of the hooly van.
Dilly then told us all in the back of the van to start singing church songs so the police would think that they picked up the wrong people and that they accidently picked up some church goers.
I don't think the smell of alcohol in the back of the van helped us though.
Dilly was a top man and sorely missed.

Boozer still ducking and. Diving around llanrumney
