One of our best known fans at Stourbridge FC
is an old guy called Eric, a wonderful character with a penchant for using extremely industrial language.

Eric has one leg.

A couple of years ago prior to an away game I got chatting to him and he was telling me how he lost his leg, he fell over up by Top Church in Dudley as a three year old and his leg was crushed by a bus.

So he’s spent 70 odd years with a wooden leg.

In an unbelievable set of circumstances he follows both his father and his father’s father in losing a leg, all three of them lost the same leg in totally random accidents👀😳

He reckoned it was quite a sight to see all three of them together at a family function, strangers thought they were taking the p I s s as they hobbled in together 🤣

At another away match Eric was struggling to get across a very uneven car park and cussing with every step......me and my mate got to the turnstiles just ahead of him and his friend.

I handed over my money to the turnstile operator and it took forever for the change to be returned to me.

At that point I noticed the guy in the turnstile only had one arm.

I turned back to Eric and shouted,

“ Fu ck me Eric, there’s just enough parts between the pair of you to make one decent functioning human being “ ........😆

“ Cheeky young f u c k e r “ he replied 🤣

Anyway, what a coincidence.....three identical amputees down the male side of a family, unique in my experience.

Any other strange one’s you know of?
