any stories on guppy please
Apparantly he knows me and even bought my son a pint because "i know your dad" all my mates in Brighton know him too.....
I havent a clue who he is, but feel sure i must know him
If anyone has a pic of him they can PM me, i would appreciate it just so i can finally say oh right i know him or Nope still aint got a clew haha
The only time I ever spoke to him was on a train from Brighton to Worthing in about 1984. He told me he had a stash of knives, coshes and CS gas cannisters because he was worried about being attacked by 'blacks' who were going to overrun the country, and he wanted to be able to prevent defend white women from them.
How a 4 foot 10 six stone gimp could do the above, even with CS gas cannisters, was never properly expanded upon.
Up there with the Taxman, Guppy is a legend.
Pah! Guppy isn't fit to lace The Taxman's cider!
On the subject of Pete I hear he took a tumble again at the weekend?? Can anyone confirm/deny if he's ok or not?
We were on our way to Poland via Berlin. We stopped in Berlin for a few beers and Guppy popped next door to the local brothel leaving his money belt and stuff with us in case he got mugged. He turned up again about 10 mins later after the pro turned him away - we had a good laugh that even the local ladies of the night were not having a bit of guppy!!!!
I also remember him being hit at Darlington one year. He made some comment to a bloke about his girlfriend and the next thing we saw was guppy flying across the table. He got up dusted himself down and resumed his pint (which some how survived the carnage). About 5 mins later he just collapsed on the floor spilling his pint! It was a hell of a punch!!
