Buffalo Bill Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 He had a really high pitched voice, and was always having a right go at the ref or Walter Kidd or whoever. When I was a kid attending games in the 80s, he was always at the games, home and away; espeacially loud at mid-week games for some reason. Who was he? What was his story? I never hear him now. And what's more strange, is that I don't think I ever once saw who he was. Maybe it was all in my head?!!! Buffalo Bill . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw him for many years after as well - funny enough not seen him for a wee while. Not sure if he was linked to the Manchester Hearts in some way?

speedbump Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 I'm sure I saw him once, he was always pulling his break up due to a lack of a belt, pulling the odd mince pie from his pocket and putting on and pulling off his Hearts wolly gloves all the time. If it's the same bloke we are on about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denny Crane Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Anyone remember another chap who used to sit in the Shed who wasn't happy unless the stretcher-bearers were brought out. Everytime an opposition player got the ball he'd shout: "BREAK HIS LEGS". Mind, everytime one of our's was on the deck after a hefty challenge it would be: "GET UP YA BIG POOF - THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH YOU!". Only in Craig Levein's case, there usually was.
