Kop leaders! Where have they gone?

[Cerberus Blade]

when I was a kid the Shoreham used to have a kop leader - "Eskimo" he was called. I never met him, but he was famous! The hard-man leader of the kop!

I've never heard of a kop leader since? Have we gone soft or don't such folk exist these days?

I'm not hard enough to be a kop leader myself, but I reckon I could still kick the shit out of most folks in the Westfield Corner! All them Chinese students! Pah! They can have their Bruce Lee tactics, my Austin A35 starting handle would sort them in no time.

Alas I sit in the South Stand with a tartan shawl over my knee, sipping milky coffee from a thermos. But if ever a vacancy for a kop leader comes up - let me know?

Argos car park pretty much 24/7 pal.
Either that or Tony Soprano rag dolling every cunt in the Cricks every home game.
Get involved.

Wasnt a fella called Willie Ward a top face on the Shoreham in the 60s?

Remember my old Grandad telling me that there used to be a geezer who they nicknamed the 'Shoreham mauler' back in the 30s or 40s i think. Some hard nut who was probably a pre cursor to the bbc. He was probably the top face in the blades zoot suit and trilby hat crew.

I suppose when you think about it, i bet the kop has had many a real character on it over the past hundred and odd years and probably saw enough woodbines smoked on it during matches to smoke a shed load of kippers.

Pissed down the back of the blokes in front Birmingham bags many a time on the kop in the 70's. They never twigged till they stood upright from leaning on a stantion and felt a warmth all down the backs of their legs. Talking about a few pints and too packed to shift.

Whatever happened to Weismuller and his Tarzan call? It was like a rallying cry.

That must have been a very proud moment for you . "A proper lad". Are you a human being or an animal? Too close to call for me.

You clearly misread the thread title here blossom.
You're looking for the "How to arrange pretty little flowers whilst avoiding getting arsed raped by Officer Dibble"
Google "Bunty". You'll find it there.

There's no leader as such - Just about a dozen or so hard bastards dotted around the Kop that periodically stand up and go "WUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRGGHHHH NEVER FELT MORE LIKE SWINGIN' A PIG..." to get everyone going. May they always find a pint in their hands in each pub and the voice of the crowd behind them every game.

Question answered. Animal. You were a Kop leader before you got old? Are your crazy japes still legendary among "THE LADS"? Or just on Planet SBT?

Wow, two nights in a row from the bargain-bin Jimmy Muir. No lock-in tonight?

Are you sure you're on the right forum? You're certainly on the wrong thread.
You also have a serious requirement for both a sense of humour and personality transplant.
Do yourself a favour.
Hot milky and beddy byes.
You have no clue whatsoever what I'm posting about,whether I mean it literally,or what being a football fan "Back in the day" was all about.
Find yourself another hobby. Being a Blade is not for you.

Yes, I do recall the "faces" of the day in the 70's. I suppose the only thing I could say of worth about that era was that at least everything was simple then and you knew what the point was and that "the man" (say Eskimo) was someone to follow and not to mess about with. I was thirteen when I started and these lads I "looked up to" must have been mid twenties. On the very rare occasion that I now venture onto the kop, I despair at the juvenile idiots that now occupy the back of the kop. Back in the day, they had a presence. An aura. A menace. Now? Maybe its an age thing, but it's embarrassing.

Not much else to do for a failed former "footballer" with a drink problem.

I know that your carefully nurtured on-line persona is aimed at recreating Wolfie "Power to the people" Smith.

But do you really believe that pissing on someone makes you a better individual?

If that someone was you categorically yes.

He's a failed footballer with a drink problem. Hence his bitter ad hominem posts once or twice a week. Providing he has a bit of Dutch courage behind him of course.

Is he that **** who posts on BM as Geetartwat. The bullshitter from Rotherham?

Keep clutching the straws Mr Angry. Not drunk alcohol for 8 years. Are you a gallon before the match and a gallon after the match sort of "lad"?

 

[Snowman]

Well that solves a mystery if true.

 

[seanbeenstattoo]

I'd bet a whole shiny penny it's Geetartwat. Only EVER posts after 23.00 when it's hammered and loves to brag about its amazing life/wife/salary/intelligence/house.

Reality = homeless cunt with a White Lightening addiction and an inflatable doll.

So you even failed at being an alcoholic? Tragic.

Bet you don't get the same 'buzz' from Becks Blue do you? Still if it helps you post then who am I to judge.....

You crack me up. I post on here when my other is watching TV. But got to say though, pissing on people and being proud of it in middle age is surreal.

This was a good thread for a few posts wasn't it

Absolutely!
This thread is unreal.
Pissing on someone is indicative of having a very small dick and too much to drink. Don't want those fuckers anywhere near me!

 

[seanbeenstattoo]

Yep. It's Geetartwat.

Yeah I remember that prick from BladesMad.
