Will never forget Ayatollah Fred halfwayish up the Fulwell did the best/worst farts ever. Think he was form Jarra/Hebburn. Can only be described as fuckin disgraceful :D:D
Aye bit of a Rolf Harris lookalike - he would turn up just before kick off with a greasy pie and his mates would serenade him with 'OK Fred now you're the Ayatollah!' ( to the tune of OK Fred by Errol Dunkley) and then he'd let rip with the Trumpet Voluntary! 🤮 I'm sure the coppers used to think there were fights breaking out the way areas of The Fulwell would part once the fumes reached them.:lol:

Also around that area was a proper radgee who wouldn't have a word said against Leighton James if I remember.
 
Fella used to stand near us in the Fulwell, he had the loudest voice I have heard to this day and he would yell, “AWAYAWAYAWAYAWAYAWAY!!!!!”

I would shit myself every time he shouted it.
 
Mainstand paddock towards the Roker End..loads of us who got in the New Derby and loads of the lads from the Blue Bell..happy days.
 
Remember a cockney bloke in the fulwell end black spoke hair always shouting n bawling....

Tony the viking man programme seller along fulwell road

I can remember the Spurs game in the Milk Cup run 85, was a night game and I think it's the heaviest crowd I can remember in the Fulwell End, I felt like I couldn't move, anyway, Ray Clemmence is in nets for Spurs, there's a break in the play and it's gone a bit quiet and this voice somewhere behind me screams "Clemmence......you got a fkn big nose" everyone around is howling and to be fair Clem turned round and clapped and had a big smile on his face.
 
During the Len Ashurst era (I'd have been about 12/13 when he got sacked) I can distinctly remember the name of one lad who stood at the front of the Fulwell End behind the goal.
PASTIE......he looked a few years older than me so possibly 15 or 16 in 84/85 and he would dash about all over the terracing well before kick-off....always 4 or 5 other lads about the same age.
I can't recall what he looked like but his name I've never forgotten.!!!
Aye but I have known him for over 50 years, 'skinned our hearts and skinned our knees' time to worry is when we don't know each other
 
Always remember a bloke with a moustache we referred to as Tash man in the Fulwell. Had a young lad who by his account was tearing up the youth Leagues 😬
 
As a youngun, about 12, I always stood on the wooden fence back of the fulwell, with a lad called Thomas O'Donnell from Sunderland, I've always wondered what became of him, and if he's still alive? 50 years ago.
 
I remember during the 1992 quarter final when Armstrong scored I'd moved from my usual halfway line position towards the goal for the corner, it was a crush obviously and there was a girl behind me jumping up and down and I can still feel her frontage between my shoulder blades to this day. It was a glorious night.

I still do that now in the East Stand at the Sol but let's get it right: it's HAWAYAWAYAWAYAWAY!!! - and it still makes people around me jump! I inherited it from my older brother (RIP) but I don't think he was your fella in the Fulwell, his favourite spot was the Main Stand Paddock.
My favoured delivery is when there is a general lull in the crowd noise and then I let rip with a good old HAWAYAWAYAWAYAWAY...if nothing else, it wakes people up. And makes me smile.
