4 eyes will live on in the history of Huddersfield Town..... Daft lad, loveable rogue, interesting, talked in riddles, but I will tell you something he was special in his day... Four eyes was always there week in week out expecially late to mid seventies.... Front line warrior who knew how to syke out the opposition 🤣🤣🤣🤣I looked up to this fella when going on the kenmargra when I was 15....a town legend and the name four eyes will never be forgotten..... R. I. P. EYES... ❤️

Didn't know four eyes personally, but every town fan from the 70/80s knew of him. Probably mid seventies and not 100% sure it was him, but I have visions of him riding up and down leeds rd pre match on a scooter. Looking for groups of away fans, in the days that home games against Bolton, Blackburn, Preston etc were always feisty affairs. Yet another well known character from my past has gone, they seem to get fewer and fewer as the years go by.. R.I.P

I think he went down to the DHSS for a crisis loan for a new cooker (that's what he told them) and spent it going back to Italy for the Germany semi in 90. He got sick of folk banging car doors late at night outside his house up Lindley so painted his own double yellows on the road once. A star he was. I was in the Fleece with him when England beat Holland 4-1 in 96, he had a quid on at 100/1 and was cheering like fuck when Holland scored the last goal, everyone looked at him but Eyes knew that Dutch goal not only won him a ton but knocked the Jocks out too, he loved it.

Oti, was he a shortish, squarely built fellow? That's the fella...always got filthy NHS glasses on I remember him from a long time ago. Anyway, best not to say too much, given his death.

Eyes had a 4-1 fetish...backed Town to win that score every game. You never heard about it except when it came in once a year. I could talk of goats in his bath, empty freezers in his shop, LSD parties, Standard fireworks....there was always some madness with Eyes. Half a thumb from a silly accident. We got a coach to Orient together when I was a slip of a lad....within 2 seconds of stepping off it we were in a rumble...in to the Orient end to take it over....always some mad plan.

If I knew how I would post a photo of Eyes and I at Italia 90 We would have been in early to mid teens...too young to be associated with the 'big' guys. I'd heard of the names Irish, Ainley, Gladstone, Jacko etc and recognised them. We as kids 'referred' to a guy as 'Scarves' - it could have been him then?

Is Ainley still going? One my kids favourite all time town memories was when I took them at about 4 and 5yrs to the away leg of playoffs at mk dons. Think we took a lead back to our place thanks to a typical flicked goal by Rhodes and one by Novak? He always reminded me of Pob. Anyway afterwards when we were all trapped in carpark with home fans this music started blaring and him and another handy looking guy appeared as the drop top came down on a convertible Audi with boxes on their heads and then danced then made his way to each home fan car to wind them up. My kids were in the car roof chanting. Good times. Funny.

Legend - First met 4 Eyes at an away game at Halifax - West Riding Cup (wish they would bring these back), I have no idea what the score was however after the game he somehow managed to talk the Wallace Arnold bus driver into taking us into their Town centre. Needless to say every window on the right hand side of the coach went in - i remember been layed down in the ally way.
4 Eyes response - Driver are you ok ? - good, just pull 100 yards up the road and we'll take it from here.
Crazy Days
