We may need to get them disinfected before entering Carrow Road. Perhaps a sheep dip may be a solution.
“The great unwashed” is a common light-hearted phrase to describe the public at large. There was absolutely no need for this bloke to issue the usual grovelling apology people seem to think is necessary just because a few pathetic morons think it appropriate to feign outrage and indignation over the causing of perceived “offence”. A classic case of the need to either get a life or to go away and learn how to think.
I think people would be a lot more upset if he wasn't such a bloody brilliant presenter and passionate fan of the club.
All it took was that one episode of Lovejoy and 30 years later you are still called bin dippers or binners/bin men this won't go away .
It only took a 20 second scene in said episode of Lovejoy where our badge merely appeared on a baseball cap, but such is the exalted status of ITFC that is all it for us takes to sear ourselves in the collected psyche of the footballing world at large. You lot could have endless mentions on a peak time, globally viewed and decades running tv series and spin-off Hollywood big budget films and still not a single person outside of Star Wars conventions and Dr Who quiz nights would know who you were.

Ive been supporting Town for about 45 years, ive been to FA Cup and EUFA Cup finals and ive also been to Scunthorpe when its snowing. As its already been pointed out the term " great Unwashed " just means the masses in general so am I offended by Brenner Woolley? Am I offended by The Inbred Boys? Not a bit of it, ive seen football of the quality they could only dream about. Forever in our shadow.
Great post Fieldmarshall, You must remember that Freezing Cold day in January 1978 when there was a big pile of Snow on the ground at Bristol Rovers and it was touch and go whether the FA Cup tie was going to be played. Those 2 Robin Turner goals certainly warmed us up for the long trip back down the M4! My dad drove us down in his Austin Maxi and there was a petrol shortage at the time so he took a couple of Gerry cans in the boot! Health & Safety? What Health & Safety! Very good times!
