Does anyone know what happened to the skinhead denim wearing yakka bloke who followed Pools everywhere in 90s and later He was around 40 yr old and would now be around 65 He wore a old blue n white scarf tied around his neck and always loved a bevvy or two. He used to stand in the townend and would be seen at away games mainly alone. He seemed to know a lot of Poolies and was a really nice bloke.

If he was fair haired it might be Gaz W from Peterlee, he still attends as I spoke to him in the MHT last season.

Is his name Olly?

Sounds like the bloke who used to go away with the Engineers lads about 23 odd years ago.
Forgotten his name.
Will ask our kid!

Well done Mr. Jumbodabber that's the fella

Olly wears specs from memory.

Ye
But can't remember the specs.
Lovely lad 9

Yes our Kev a total gentleman but I don't recall glasses either other than the ones he drank from.

Maybe he does now and that's why you don't recognise him.

Think your talking about Murton Les,he still goes as far as I know.

Thats good. If I dont hang mine round my neck, I forget them.

On the subject of Hartlepool folk. I have often wondered what happened to Kenny Bottles. For those of you of a certain age Kenny would visit peoples houses and ask for lemonade bottles which he would cash in at certain shops. I believe he lived in the Easington Road area. As kids we would shout the words rather crudely Kenny Bottles because he used to rotate his neck like a chicken.

Can confirm Murton Les n Olly are 2 different Poolies.
Both regulars at away games in 80,s n 90s.
Les used to knock about with Big Ted/ Spenner.
I'm sure quite a few remember them from thar era.
The good old days.
Last time I seen Spenner was unfortunately at Mick Kelly's funeral about 4 years ago.
Anutha loyal Poolie gone to the town end in the Sky.
UTP.

No not train man I know " Les the tank engine".

Don't do it Ozzy give me I ring if your feeling like hanging things around your neck and I will be there in a jiffy to have a chat with you mate. Pools will improve I promise you.

Ted was part of our 5 man crew for away games for years along with Alan Willoughby. I know he went to South America for a few years but returned back to Hartlepool. Always stands in the middle of the townend with his lass but not seen him in a couple of years now and he is not hard to see.

Les worked as a ticket man on British Rail and used to get free travel then meet us in a pub near grounds.

Kenny ‘Bottles’ Robinson actually lived on Lime Crescent. He was mentally handicapped but harmless, scared the shit out of me as a kid. last I heard he was in a nursing home next to the General Hospital. He did indeed visit peoples houses but rarely knocked. We lived on Cedar Walk and I remember finding him in our kitchen a couple of times raking about under the sink panning for bottles.

if he’s still alive he’ll be late 70’s by now.
