dogtanian 252 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Anybody remember him? If im talking shite please feel free to shoot me down in flames or delete this post but I'm pretty sure this guy was real when I first started going to games. What I can remember is he would run about the stands and basically go mental to try and get the crowd going, a bit like a modern day Union Bears only a one man show.

Used to run up and down the stairs to the right side of the Copland as you looked at it. I think it was on the upper tier. Maybe around the late 80's to early 90's?

TMB 14,167 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 He use to run up and down the stair naked with his cock tucked between his legs shouting "a Racoon ate my penis". Rare laugh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazzler 2,428 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 It was the back of the lower tier, but it was the right hand side of the Copland. He brought a drum in at one of the games and the stewards took it off him, with the help of the police. Felt like most of the stadium started watching that rather than the game. Place went mental with boos when he eventually gave it up. After about five minutes of booing and no-one watching the game, he got his drum back and proceeded to walk up and down the stairs banging it. Loudest boos and cheers of the day.

No worries I wasn't sure which tier it was. I remember him taking a tumble down multiple stairs one game then getting to his feet with his hands up in the air. He got a cheer from the whole stadium.

My first season ticket was in the main stand, just behind the directors box, I couldn't see the top of the Copland because of the club deck. He was very entertaining.

ready1873 3,885 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Charlie the Copland nutter. He's from Stevenston, used to go with the Cross Keys RSC. Can be found pished in there often. I went in one midweek not too long ago and he pounced over the bar and started pouring driks. Bit fond of the ching too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where I was, there were some RFC seats for directors box overspill and you often got injured players or other well known faces sitting around you. I remember one game with Mark Hateley sitting diagonally in front of me all dressed in an Armani suit which probably cost more than my car at the time. A couple of lads probably about 14 or so came up for an autograph saying in a broad Glasweigan accent "can we have your autograph Hateley" He turned round and said "it's Mr Hately you wee shit". He still signed their programs though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was back in the day when a library would have been louder than the stadium. Enclosures had not long been taken away, the club deck had just been completed and we didn't have those wee nutters in the broomloan. He did a good job of trying to generate an atmosphere.
