Has he still got the coat with about a million patches on? :lol:

In the past 20 years or so, I've seen the duffel coat upgraded for a new version twice I think. I don't think the current one has any patches on it yet.

The Buzzard was Rancid.

Other rancid dudes from the 70's/ 80's era include:

Gruntle F**k Pig- Grantham

The Romford Gravedigger- err Romford

The Hog- Reading

Pete Cufflin- used to dress like Dick Emery's Bovver Boy sketch

Soup- Dudley aka Dudley Zoo

Whatever his name was from Blackpool who used to keep breaking his nose- he had a right Hooter on him.

Coventry Tramp

Harry Glitz- Manchester

Sale- err "Sale, get a Wash"

If you mean Jed, then yes; spotted at New Street a couple of weeks ago complete with obligatory duffel coat still in quite good condition :lol:

Right, time to come clean........

In the eighties I have been a Jeds Ned going on his 'Family Rail Card' for a leap

His famous quote to one or two neds, 'do ya fancy a leap to Padd, get two more and we will come back on M61'
50 to Padd for one back for £1.50 in them days, no complaints me think....

Jed's most loyal ned was a chap called Mud I think ??
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
Just thought of another dubious one from days past....

A baglette called 'Electric Head'..... done 87's

Anyone remember ???

that's the one.

I remember the two Bakers and another kid with curly hair that used to go up Scotland.

Brummie lads I knocked about with were the generation before- late 70's, early 80's. Taylor, Bingley, Woody etc

Colin Moss and Rancid George were fckin Neds man. Remember Bayliss too like.

The last time I did Scotland was in '86 and went with the Wycombes.

The Bradford Bricker? Did the same man get Tony Blair's PR agency to change it from the Bradford Bender?

Or should we now call him the "bradford man of no discernable sexual orientation".

Alive and well and still big in the CFPS last I heard.

====

Fred the Skinhead.

In a compo on WHL with some mother with her 13 year old girl twixt her and Fred. Fred decides his gonads need rearranging and a bit of nail mediated abbrasion for half an hour or so. Hilarious.

Last I heard of Fred on the electric internet was that he was driving syphons in Spain.
