The anti-prawn sandwich people

Bill Shankly, Liverpool FC's most famous manager is credited with this very memorable quote :

" Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I assure you, it's much more serious than that. "

Well, let me introduce to you a Portsmouth Football Club fan who embodies that statement.


Meet Mr. John A. Westwood.

He has travelled to every Portsmouth game, home and away, since 1980. He has 60 Portsmouth tattoos on his body, the club crest shaved on to his head and "PFC" engraved on his teeth. He doesn't wear a shirt at Portsmouth games, no matter what the weather, so that said 60 tattoos are on display. And for pretty much the entire game, he rings a bell, blows a bugle and bashes a big bass drum. And in 1989, he legally changed his name by deed poll.


Meet Mr. John Anthony Portsmouth Football Club Westwood.


Any takers for Manchester United ?
