giro_casher   10 #1 Posted October 24, 2009 ive noticed alot of threads recently about notable peope in sheffield, just wondering if the skinny bloke with the old man utd kit on still walks in/around the market.  think he works on one of the fish stalls or something but even in winter he always had that old man utd kit on even with the shorts and socks, is he still around?

woodmally   10 #2 Posted October 24, 2009 Don't recognise the kit but there is a guy still walks round the market place. Any weather in football shorts and knee high socks. He's not a full shilling but a nice enough chap. Yep hes still bobbing around Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Angela P Â Â 10 #7 Posted April 14, 2015 I saw Alan in the Moor market this morning, shouting to the stallholders. It was the first time I have seen him in there since it opened but someone who works there told me he has been in there a lot.

It was the first time I have seen him in there since it opened but someone who works there told me he has been in there a lot.  Thats a bit strange as it was on this forum a while ago that he was banned from the market. He's a strange un but lovely harmless chap. Glad hes back in the market wouldnt be the same without him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Vegas1 Â Â 10 #9 Posted April 15, 2015 (edited) Thats a bit strange as it was on this forum a while ago that he was banned from the market. He's a strange un but lovely harmless chap. Glad hes back in the market wouldnt be the same without him. Â He may have been shouting at stallholders from the customer side of the stalls, of course. Angela P never specifies why he was shouting at them, and what side of the counters he was on. Â I can't imagine the Health and Safety regs have been relaxed to allow him to work there again. Nobody has suggested he has been banned from the building, that would be absurd. Edited April 15, 2015 by Vegas1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Angela P Â Â 10 #10 Posted April 15, 2015 He was on the customer side of the counters, he wasn't doing any work. As for what he was shouting about, it is difficult to tell what he is saying but I think it was something to do with football. I was surprised to see him in there as I had also read that he had been banned from the building, and as I had never seen him in there in 18 months thought it must be true.

Vegas1 Â Â 10 #11 Posted April 15, 2015 He will have been banned from the non-customer areas of the building (loading bays and the like), nothing more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
