The Withdean Rocket Man

That horrible man got his comeuppance in the end. Busking now, isn't he?

LOL

Did Rocket Man(/Woman) ever break cover in the end? True Albion Legend back in the day. If memory serves, he/she retired the day one of their rockets fell short and dropped into the South Stand. Pretty sure my mate Robbie said at the time it had gone down the back of his neck. There was a photo in the Argus.

My favourite Rocket Man story is from an evening match when we played Cardiff at Withdean. Cardiff had brought a large, vocal and not particularly pleasant contingent. The Albion scored earlydoors. At which point the place erupted and something landed on the cycle track in front of H Block. 'Shiiiit!' screamed somebody in H Block (possibly the Withdean Screamer) 'Cardiff are firing ARROWS at us!! ' They weren't. It was The Stick That Fell To Earth from Rocket Man's firework celebration

I'd forgotten the Withdean Screamer
