Who remembers that mad steward?

[KrustyTheKray]

He was quite tall with glasses and used to patrol the east stand. He used to shout all kinds of nonsense outside the ground!

Once i remember him shouting at a tv outside currys or radio rentals in southend high street, swearing like a trooper claiming he had £500 on us getting a goaless draw

The last time i see him was at Braintree v Canvey (the day Canvey missed out on getting into the conference.

I think he was a bit Radio Rental!!

I expect people will now bring up all the other old Stewards.....Jocky Wilson and the 'Child Molester' (the whole North Bank used to sing 'You dirty child molester' every time he walked round the pitch.

Do you remember the chap in the west stand, he was a steward in block s or t. He was a dead ringer for Mike from the young ones!

Are you talking about the fella who also supported Spurs and legged it onto the pitch to have a ago at a line 'cause some people told him he was an Arsenal fan, I think it was a Tuesday night game. His name eludes me...

Oh yes! "Jocky, give us a wave, Jocky Jocky give us a wave" and when he did - "you fat bar steward!"

I also remember the skinhead who used to wander around the perimeter selling - or rather intimidating people into buying - raffle tickets! "Skin 'ed, skin 'ed"!!!

No that wasn't him but i remember the guy your on about!

He went on the pitch and tried to attack the linesman during a league cup game.

He got a banning order i think. I last see him in a pub at Brentford when we played them in the LDV area final.

This same chap your on about put a hamburger bun on his head and a carrier bag round his ears at Brighton away (priestfield ground share days).

I remember back in the early ninties, leading a chant of "Vic Jobson's Private Army" to the gormless yellow coat brigade.

Whilst we are reminiscing, i recall an old boy in the 60's and 70's "Program and handbook" was all I heard him say for about 4 years, then it becam "program and lotree ticket" untill he retired.

Also the people with the "cinema icecream seller" style trays selling Sweets and Crisps .

and a thoroughly nice chap to go with it, although he wasn't exactly blessed with brains

i used to play football with him, and another regular poster on here (who may wish to remain anonymous) when i was quite a bit younger - like his intellect, he wasn't gifted with skills, but he was harmless all the same

I saw Bungle the other day...... all spruced up in a camoflage jacket and with the same spec's as always!

The SKin - ed one selling raffle tickets is also still about, though unfortunately (or not) he's often seen in a West Scum shirt. When i used to work at Barking, he was forever coming thru really pumped up and giving it on his way to Upton Park.
