I've a vague recollection of Pete the Greek on the pitch at an away game and numerous stewards and police trying to take him down - he was not having it whatsoever - Pete was built like an ox !!! It was  maybe the Hawthorns or possibly Wrexham

There was a guy who was covered in badges back in the 70’s. He also featured on the front cover of the program as I remember

There were a few characters on the Chauffeurs coaches. Definitely something extra added to that big flagon of 'Sunny Delight' they passed around at the back. 

Are they still running?

No disrespect what so ever, but in our 2nd division year under Taylor 87/88, there was a lad amongst a group of about five that literally had two noses,really nice lad. Went every away.

The bloke on the extreme left is a former workmate of mine.  I remember he had a huge motor, the make of which I can't remember but he took a load of us up to Crewe when we played them in the League Cup in about 1974/75.  He was even good enough to take my old man too and when it came to divvying up for petrol money he said 'ten bob each lads and that covers the old man'.  I never forgot him for that.

The Villa Werewolf lives in Erdington and I last saw him at Derby away a few weeks back and had a stream of selfies taken with other fans.CJ Steve is ever present,is a local at the Bagot in Pype Hayes and sits a few seats from me at the top of the Holte End lower.His Cricket jumper still looks new and smart,yet must be years old.Quality knitwear.

Nothing to do with the thread but the comment above brought back a memory. In 74/75 I was an apprentice at Serck and a guy called Alan was a year older than me and got a ticket for the game, the ticket was just a small card so he spent the week before the game photocopying the ticket to make shed loads of forgeries.
