United's 100 year old supporter

[1973Blade]

Great to see him on the pitchside at half time and that he got a good reception from fans. 96 years a Blade isn't bad going , amazed he has made it this long given the stress of supporting us!

 

[Programmechap2]

Even he can't remember the last night we won a major trophy...

 

[Muttley]

He was alive at the time though. Just.

 

[Weasel]

Poor sod. 96 years of having kittens watching United...

 

[s20Blade]

Have we finally got a winner of the bigger Blade competition?

49 more years and you’ll all be clapping me

 

[KoppedOff]

Preferential treatment that; Billy getting his old school pal a shout out and a walk on the pitch.

 

[Iffy Onuora's Shiny Head]

Apparently he punched a disabled Wigan fan in the kidneys after the match

 

[Gin&Juice]

Smashed a Worthers Original into the eye of a paraplegic Tics supporter.

 

[ShockingBadBuy]

Just imagine the punishment he’s taken, and the drain on his mental health. Massive GLTTL.

 

[S8blade]

Well done that man

 

[Paisley Blade]

It was lovely to see you all, thanks for being so kind to me.

 

[Silent Blade]

Wonder if he was at Wembley for the 1936 FA Cup final?

Yes, it said he was there in 1936. Hopefully he will see one last final!

What an amazing joke.

Congrats again. And well done on your interwebs skills too

 

[John Cutsbushes]

Congratulations Roy

Imagine how many loyalty points he's got

 

[Berkshire Blade]

This interview with him during COVID for remembrance Day talking about his war service and blades memories is worth a look. Fantastic innings
