On the theme of old characters, Kev Nutting anybody

used to help run the supporters club, large guy, long hair, once went to a concert with him and a bloke called Steve (also from supporters club), i bought a small t. shirt, kev tried it on......

 

Can anyone remember a character called Selwyn who when the Ponty sang "Selwyn Selwyn give us a wave" was always in the middle of the away fans stood on the Kop and either got thrown out, kicked in or more often than not both. It was in the mid seventies in the Jim Iley days I think.

What ever became of him?

 

yes, i remember that chant, never knew if the guy existed or not nt

 

RE: yes, i remember that chant, never knew if the guy existed or not nt

If its the same Selwyn he still goes to most matches and goes away with either Cuz & Tyrone or O'Dwyers bus

 

I remember Kev, he had a stall in Barnsley market for a time, sold vac parts, sadly, he passed away a few years ago.</p>

If it was the same Steve,I knew from those days (tall'ish, long hair), ... he was a teacher from Wath, ain't seen him for a few years, though.</p>

 

Selywn.....

I can well remember this particular day: Newcastle at home (81/82) and me and my mate were stood on the 'balcony' overlooking the precint as around 100 Geordies were waiting for the Gyngleboy to open. Selwyn walked right through the lot of them. Top bloke!

 

I knew of a Kev Nutting - big bloke who had a sister called Susan. But I thought they had a craft stall on the indoor market. He was one of our customers.

 

John Liptrot - anyone from Wombwell know him

20 years ago when i were about 19, i used to be out rond wombwell drinking with him 3 or 4 nights a week. He was a good kid with a good heart, but never really got any breaks. I think he was a millers fan. I think him problems started when he lot his job at Yorkshire brick. Soon after i got engaged, and only saw him occassionally, and hardly at all for last 10 years, so don't really now what sort of person he became, or life he had. Although i lost touch, he is often in my thoughts - such a shame

 

Aye he used to live in Hemingfield

think he was involved in a spot of bother last year in Hoyland Common, not 100% sure though.

 

his real name is Kev nt

 

RE: John Liptrot - anyone from Wombwell know him

I used to live round the corner from him - haven't seen him for yonks

 

RE: John Liptrot - anyone from Wombwell know him

Knew his face as I go up Wombwell for a pint most Saturdays and have for many a year.</p>

Nice kid, always said hello, and up the Millers!</p>

I don't know the circumstances surrounding his death but was saddened to hear of it.</p>

As you say, nice kid. Just never got dealt a winning hand in life. </p>

 

Selwyn in the seventies

I remember one evening away game in the fourth division days (could be Crewe) he turned up in steel toecap boots. Local plod were not too impressed and made him leave them outside the ground. Can still see him standing on the freezing terrace in his stocking feet.

 

Kev Nutting was a great bloke, used to sell cotton, wool, sewing machines and stuff in the indoor market. Sadly no longer with us but he was a massive bfc fan. He would have loved to have been at Cardiff last year.

 

Some one called Button from Wombwell this is his correct surname,dont know his first name.

 

Bloody hell, i didnt realise Kev had died

made me sad, he was a great bloke, the Steve was a teacher and did have long hair so must be the same bloke

 

RE: Bloody hell, i didnt realise Kev had died

Steve Hallsworth from Wath. Retired from teaching about 5 years ago, still lives in the house he inherited from his parents.

Still has "long" (grey) hair.

 

Characters

Anybody remember a cockney bloke with a beer belly and curly hair alwas wore a shirt unbuttoned to his belly.

He always stood in ponty just behind the goal to the right, late 70's

 

I think that was John Simmonds he use to be the manager of the Civic Hall,He went on to own Charisma Antiques in Hoyland

 

Eh?

John Liptrot is dead? No! Surely not?
