Remember bumping into " Sheff" many times, all over the country.Have to give a mention of " Sheff " & " Billy" ( now from Bishop of dog at QPR fame) who I travelled by train with when we went by train, early mid 70's when there was sometimes 10 or less "lads" at some away games. The stories we could tell !!

Mackey the skinhead from Hexam is best mates with Magcatcherhutch who is a top Gateshead lad.
Once went on a stag night to Hexham in the 80's and there was some bother brewing with the locals (mags). Out of the blue in walks Mackey
and to say the mags up there are terrified of him is an understatement, great lad.

If it's the same lad we knew him as Scottie and he was absolutely crackers ...... we'd pick him up in Sheffield and never be sure if he'd make it back to the car.
If he didn't we'd just know he'd find his way home like some manic homing pigeon

As a couple of examples, He wheeled me around Cardiff centre in a wheelbarrow waiting for the pubs to open, bet we didn't have more than 50 there all day & we both got chased off Fratton station at Pompey over some garage roofs, just the 2 of us on the train
, the year about 20 of us stormed their end & they ran... until they realised they outnumbered us about 20 to 1

Hi Wakey, is the guy Sheff you mention the same guy I referred to. I knew him by his name. Is/was he JS?
He was covered in tattoos , including his neck. His family originally hailed from Amble? One of his many tats said Amble. Used to wear his hair in that 70's feathered look? Always curious to know what ever happened to him?

Scottie is similar to his surname. We travelled by train when he had his job in the brewery, otherwise he/we would hitch or jump the train. We travelled all owa together for years, home games were always on the 08.45 from Leeds

Sounds like the same lad mate.
I don't think we ever made arrangements with him ..... he'd just drift in and out of our vision and we'd back each other up if we were attacked.
I remember being at Burnley, when we had both full backs sent off, and we came out to a massive ambush ....... he just ran at them and we had no option but to follow just because of his personality!

John S, yes that's him, tats everywhere. Last time I saw him was at the semi at Old Stratford looking for tickets. He was with his eldest son & me with mine, both brick netties. He'd married the Sheff U skinbird he lived with. He was getting near his pension he said, prob true as he was older than me & I'm 59 today
