http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/blogs/world-of-sport/football-most-loyal-fan-153739670.html I seem to recall a few years ago a report in the Daily Fail about a City fan called Trevor Pearson ??? who hadn't missed a City match since before he was born or something like that. 38 years is some achievement especially supporting Bermingum
Yes. I know Trevor. He's a Hornsea lad. I haven't seen him for a few years, but somehow I imagine he'll still be going strong. I would say his run goes back to the '80's most probably. Not mental. Just keen.
I broke my humerus is 4 places about 6 hours before the Peterborough home game in January, and still went. I've definitely outdone him
Trevor Pearce. He'd been going a while when I was at College with him in 1987ish. He'll be early 40s so prob 10 years behind the linked guy. Honourable mentionDalton from Amber Nectar who has been going strong since the late 90s.
I went to the World Cup five days after major stomach surgery, my surgeon was a City fan and agreed to me going as long as I kept necking Anadin on the flight and wore surgical stockings. I could drink, but wasn't allowed solid food for three months, so after a few beers when I was starving and with no 'sloppies' available, I tried to make a burger into a paste to eat it. It didn't work. But at least while I was starving to death, we managed to beat Paraguay(just).
I went to dorchester towns ground to watch yeovil vs plymouth today in my tigers shirt and got threatened with been removed for giving abuse to a yeovil player and the linesman was rather amusing
If we're going for the most unusual places to be wearing the shirt I'm going for claiming it. The first time I wore our Centenary kit I wore it to a 4th tier game played in another country. We launched it really quickly after getting promoted from D3, and when I say really quickly, I mean quickly enough for me to wear it to that season's playoff final between Huddersfield and Mansfield in Cardiff.
