Definitely true. Virtually every away game I've ever been to (quite a lot), he is always there and it can't be coincidence. I saw him at the AFC Wimbledon U23 game last season. He always has a plastic bag and a vintage faded blue and white striped scarf. He is not the same guy as Graham Talbot, so we have more than one superfan.

You can also count Liz Costa in this category as there aren't many games that she has missed.

Sounds like Gus from Shoreham who also sells the programmes in WSL?

I used to drink in the Stadium pub before home games, and Gus was often in there (and when I played for the darts team there). I bumped into him in a great little pub in Preston before the game there last year and he was telling me about his matches longevity - pretty sure he told me that the bloke to his right (in the sunglasses) hadn't missed a game for even longer. I was pretty impressed I must say.

I spotted him in halfman halfbiscuit's photo shoot from Boro. Gus in his other habitat...

He's been wearing that same scarf for as long as I can remember. Want a decent pint at away games? Ask Gus. He knows good pubs in every corner of the country.

Graham Talbot came out of away day retirement and was at Boro away as was Gus from the photos

Though I'm not supposed to know this as had my loyalty points deducted as attendance list apparently says I wasn't there - I was !!

So that's Gus - I remember him selling us half time lottery tickets at the Goldstone when I was in single figures age.

I remember nearly 20 years ago @Dick Knight's Mumm telling me that 'Angus' was a superfan. I would imagine he has insufficient spare time to ponce about on NSC, though. :ascarf::bowdown::lolol:

Responsible for what I think was the best post-match, walking-back-to-the-car RANT I have ever heard.......was following him and he was expressing his views on our abject performance away at Rotherham in CHs first season.

Sells lotto tickets in WSL every home game.

Came across a book recently written by a Leeds Superfan that hadn't missed a single game since 1968, guy called Gary Edwards

Just wondered if Albion has any such fans that have achieved very long runs of attendance for competitive matches, home and away, league and cup. Anyone that made it all the way through the war years?

Well, it's easy to go to every Leeds game if you live in that sh*thole as you're unlikely to have a job or owt.

Gus is a very nice chap indeed. He used to man the staff gate at the Greyhound stadium when I worked there 1979-81.

Graham was a work colleague of my Dad's for the Inland Revenue in the 70s and 80s. He would usually have a plastic carrier bag with his transistor radio fixed to his ear during matches. A confirmed batchelor who lived with his mother, many will not be surprised to hear, he was also a big film buff and NFT member. I saw him recently in Lewes and he is quite stooped now, must be in his 70s. He still watches Lewes occasionally.

Both have genuine superfan status and should be recognised as such.
