I post this as an appeal for answers to a question that's been burning with me for a month or so. On October the 10th at half time during the Town v Exeter game Pozza and I were having a random chat about Swedish milk maids when several rows in front of us in the FM Lower a chap reached into his pocket and started to shuffle about a bit... Thus stopping our conversation dead... After a moment or two before it'd be innappropriate the chap pulled out a camera, "ah so he's just going to take a few photos we thought" - standard behaviour... However, the chap turning to his other pocket then pulled out an elephant sock puppet... Not so standard behaviour.. A few of us stood in muted amazement as the chap proceeded to put his sock puppet on his hand, hold it out towards the galpharm pitch and take some glorious pictures of old Nellie as if s/he was gracing the Galpharm pitch his/herself... He then gave the old sock puppett a pet and stood with it on for a good 5 mins before taking it off his hand, packing his trunk, rolling it back up and putting it back into his pocket having said goodybe to the circus.. I do have photographic evidence of said event however I feel it a bit harsh perhaps to post it - perhaps I'll gauge opinion on here first... Harsh? Anyway, I'd like to know the following as the sequence of events left me quite intrigued: 1) Were you The Elephant Man? 2) Why were you taking pictures of a sock puppet against the backdrop of the Galpharm? What's the story here? 3) Can he play at left back? 4) Did he applaud the crowd before skulking off to your pocket? I thought the story had quite amusing possibilities - perhaps the elephant has been going to Town games for years, has a season ticket and has his photo taken at every ground in the country? Perhaps it has it's own blog or website? Should I post the pic up? You can't see the chaps face although I wouldn't want to cause anyone any undue embarrassment if it was someones secret... EDIT: Here is the 'Elephant man' giving his pet puppett a little tickle behind the ears: Perhaps someone knows him and I can finally get my answers!!!!

Definitely post it! Myself and Elmer are anxious to see who it could be!
What's that Elmer? You want a peanut?
The Elephant man could be the new celebration... Hold your arm out infront of you and weave towards the crowd... or just pull down your shorts :S

A strange bloke The Elephant Man. He makes one good film and then nothing !! Bit like ET - such a promising debut, then nothing, must have had a rubbish agent ... maybe he's treading the boards in regional rep, dreaming of what could have been.

ET is now a huge star on Etos5 now according to Captain Jon Luc Pichard. There is also a Town supporters club on that planet.

Fackin hell post the pictures already. ;D The pic (only 1) is at home - you'll have to wait until after 6 - it's just some bloke with an elephant puppet on his hand... On the downside Windows 7 doesn't seem to like my Samsung... I guess I should act like an IT person and sort that out as well...

i am the said elephant man and please dont call my one and only friend a sock puppet his name Cyril. The reason i take a picture of him at every town home game is for when i get home and knock one out with Cyril and my hand he looks at the pictures and gets the job done quicker
