Hartlepool Uniteds most famous supporter....

[crodonilson]

No disrespect Mr Loaf but your boys are going to take one helluva beating on Saturday. Gus and the boys are in fine fettle and we've won our last two league games and despite our draw in the FA Cup on Saturday two out of three aint bad.

Roared on by a near sell out away audience there is no doubt we'll be returning to winning ways on Saturday and three points closer to the promised land of the Championship.

More famous than Jeff Stelling ? Possibly.

 

[Easy 10]

I thought we'd won our last 4 league games.
Dammit I KNEW this was all too good to be true.

 

[Everest]

Poor effort this time Mr Crod.
It's just not BIG enough.

Maybe this will help a little

Well that wouldn't have fitted with my extremely funny Meat Loaf Pun

Oh, come on, mr everest, is that all?

 

[Acker79]

And while this isn't bigger...

I didn't want to upset him too much too soon, Mr Bilk

Source?? Just because it says so on Wikipedia doesn't necessarily make it true. Are you absolutely sure about this?

Of course they have Jeff as another famous supporter but did you know Des Barnes from Corrie was also a huge Hartlepool fan

What's the story on Meatloaf 'being a Pools fan'?

That sentence does provide me with some sort of evidence that a LOT of research goes into your "most famous" threads.

Probably not as I wouldn't know who on earth Des Barnes is.

I imagine (guess) that he was on Soccer AM. For any guest who doesn't already support a team, they pick one out of a hat for them, and that is "their team" - I don't rememeber seeing Mr Loaf on there (but I rarely watch it these days), but maybe he has, or has been assumed to have, taken it a step further.

I would have gone for Stelling anyway.

Meat Loaf first declared his love for Hartlepool United on the Sky Sports Soccer AM football chat show last month.
Cynics felt it was merely a joke until he reaffirmed his support on Channel Four's Graham Norton programme last Friday night.
He was escorted onto the set by two beauties while clutching a cuddly toy of Pools mascot H'Angus the Monkey.
When asked why Hartlepool, Meat Loaf explained they were his new favourite team and that they had just been promoted to the Second Division.
He went on to tell Norton about the club mascot and why it was a monkey and how the town had voted in a primate as its mayor.
The singer's spokesman, Louise Molloy, insists Meatloaf is taking his new love for football seriously and added: "He has also promised to learn the offside rule.
"Since appearing on Soccer AM and coming across Hartlepool and its loyal fans, it has stirred something deep inside of Meat Loaf.
"He has become slightly obsessed with the team, which is why he had requested for the monkey mascot to be taxied down to Graham Norton's show."
