Think it was Swazi who became handlebars/walrus was defo a different fella to blackbeard,Swasi was half decent,blackbeard was a hooligan in uniform
		
		
	 
 The original  Walrus  was  massive  6ft 5 
Dont think handbars was that big.
Blackbeard different fella,  looked like giant haystacks , never spoke to him.
Handlebars was hard but fair , if he said move you moved , but he would have a chat to you,  knew the score you couldn't kid him, every last one of us had there card marked by him, wouldn't let me go in the parkend  at one point,  you and your mates are barred  now go along to the paddock or somewhere  nice , and off we jolly well went no backchat, had respect for him
 Dont you recall the last time we were talking to him was that Eric's march  in Mathew  st, we were skins and were on the wasteland come carpark .
We hadn't been on the march but were hanging about , he was chatting  to us for a while.
Blackbeard  was just a horror, had the chance to give him a good webbing at anfield one year , we had gone up to the anny road and to get derby vouchers  agaist Chelsea , and a load of us met up at front .
Anyway we made a jump over the barriers to get at the chelsea and he come's charging the other way, we bailed over the metal barriers and he followed ,but he went arse over tit right behind me flat out face first,  open goal , payback time , just  raise your boot young edge ,
it's a chance to make history,  took aim and what happens  some do gooder  RS grabs me in a bear hug and drags me into the crowd , it blackbeard mate run ,  he got up and I missed my chance.
Thinking about it now it wasn't  a very clever thing to be doing anyway. 
Think Newcastle  fans had the pleasure  of giving him a kicking one time, but he more than made up for that over the years.
He gave a Chelsea fan a right hiding  one year in the parkend , we would have done jail if we had done half as much , went right overboard. 
I think everyone  in the parkend must have  took  a bit off him at one time.
There was a rumour  handbars had a fight with him in a police  station  and gave him a hiding  , I would have paid good money  to have seen that if it were true.
