Is the Greek, the guy who headbutted a horse?
The warewolf is the one obvious character. There used to be one guy in sat at the front of the Trinity in the late 80s/early 90s who looked a little simple and always had a Villa shell suit and carrier bag. He had jet black hair, pretty tanned skin and a little overeight and was always on his own. If we were on live you could see him just past the dug out. He seeed a bit mad and I used to see him on the way back home on the 23 bus getting off in Woodgate Valley.
You are right about Bobby Sands - One of his contemporaries insides the H-Blocks was Seanna Walsh. This is what he recalls;"I first met Bobby in January 1973 when we were in the same Cage and he had that cocky Belfast dander and a Rod Stewart haircut....(he was a) mate who enjoyed a bit of craic and slagging," Seanna joked that he was "the only person inside to support Aston Villa--God help him."He starved himself to death in May 1981 - so didn't live to see the AV lift the European Cup.I knew many 'bad boys' at the time in Belfast - the loyalists I mixed with tended to be Liverpool fans and an ex-IRA prisoner I knew supported Man City.

There was a very drunk bloke who provided the best entertainment of the night singing his version of 'Mustang Sally' for almost the entire 90 minutes, he was belting it out and eventually people were joining in with 'ride, sally ride'. Whenever I hear the song it makes me think of Elland Road.Did this chap have Blonde Hair , if so I know him , he knows a.lot of the old steamers

Always had that carrier bag with him.
