Someone at work mentioned about the fella who hitch-hikes all over the country watching United earlier, and i remembered watching it.

Is it someone who posts on here, it is a genuinely fascinating story.
 



He used to sit directly infront of me on the Kop.

I seem to remember he always times each half with the stopwatch on his phone.

He's gone all modern then, because it used to be a stopwatch on a cord round his neck.

Yes, like the evening at Crewe when I gave him a lift to Keele services after the game, You'd mentioned you needed to fill up, and I managed to dump him on you before you could get away :-)
 
I hope he wont mind me posting this...

That may well have been the night I dropped him at Cherwell Valley on the M40 and he ended up spending the night there.

Even the best laid plans don't always come together :-)

I ended up getting a lift with some bloke delivering Birmingham newspapers to London in the very early hours.

It hasn't been repeated for a while. I have it on VHS but not on disc sadly, hence why I can't bung it on YouTube. And nobody else has put it on YouTube either. Not that I have put "Football's Hardest Away Days Sheffield United Hitchhiker" into the search, you understand. Honest.

And the pattern is the same every match; I am the subject of much ridicule, especially when I berate the referee for not acknowledging me before the game kicks off, but then when it comes to injury time, especially if we are clinging on to a lead, everyone is asking me, "How much longer?"

It's the stopwatch on my iPod these days.

Is that young lady someone famous I should know, or just a random young lady you were desperate to be phtographed with?

It's Charlie Webster of SkySports News, a lovely Bladey Lady. As I always carry my Emergency Hitchhiking Kit around with me even if I am on the Megabus, when I observed lots of other starry-eyed chaps having their photos took, I thought, "Hmmm, I know what'd make a good photo," so I suggested we pose for this pic seen below, whilst my good mate Martin took the photo.

It was only afterwards that official club photographer Martyn Harrison came over and suggested we pose for the photo again, the one which Walthy shared and I use as my avatar, except this time I took my coat off to make sure we had maximum red & white. I kept the Hawkwind beanie on though.
