It is indeed.  If ever we rebuild the North Stand it should be The African Car Reverser Stand.

Now is our chance.

Believe it or not, if you type 'African Car Reverser' into Google, this thread is top of the search list.

Still true.

And still.

I wonder if he flew a Senegal flag during the World Cup.  I bet he was there.

Just re-read the first 3 pages of the thread. Never fails to raise a chuckle. For some reason, this one got me the most:

African Car Reverser sounds like a ska classic.

Indeed. I typed it into youtube just in case.

Fuck all.

This thread was born 10 years ago today.

Whither now, thread-starter Andy Aston or indeed the Reverser himself?

I hope they invite him to drive, in reverse gear of course, in the Coronation procession.

As long as whatever he's driving, it has one of those speakers that announces 'this vehicle is reversing'.

It's 10 years old and I still haven't got a bastard clue what's its all about.

I'm planning a re-make of Back to the Future, set in Witton, with the ACR reversing at high speed in order to transcend time to some of our highest and lowest points.  I'll set up a Go Fund Me and start casting for it today.

Could the African have been Nakamba, if so we'll have to change this thread to the 'African Marvelous car reverser'.

Put me down for a couple of grand Des.  I would like to play Dr Emmett Brown. I have all my own props.

30th of Jan will mark the exact night.

I expect Mr Woodhall to be flogging Fruit of the Loom tees emblazoned with a hurriedly-printed text of "ACR - If You Know, You Know" by the North Stand at our next home game subject to supplier deadlines.

Beware of inferior African Car Reverser merchandise being sold outside the ground

I’ve probably posted this 3 times already on this thread but every time it pops up again I see the title and my brain translates to ACR and my internal juke box switches to “Shack up”.

One of my favourite threads.


Please could someone sort some 'ACR' merchandise?
