Ally Bongo Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 I searched for the name on Facebook and i know the fella - it looks as though he was in Oslo too I am sure he was on one of the France 98 Euroscot/Ian Sharp tour buses We got the impression he wasnt the full shilling mainly because we were queuing in a Bordeaux currency exchange place and everyone was fannying around with passports which they required or they werent going to give us money He obviously never had his but he played up not being the full shilling and passed through the glass a music cassette instead of his passport and the burd accepted it and gave him his money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoonTheSlope Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 God bless the wee man 😢 I first became aware of Pasty when he’d deliver the betterware catalogues round my bit then would often notice him at Hibs games and latterly Scotland games It wouldn’t have been the first time I’d hear someone belting out Life With You on the karaoke in the Iona on a Saturday night only to turn round and see him singing his hert oot Wallpaper Ricky fairly recently and now Pasty. They must be having some cracking Nicht afore pairtys up there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlfieMoon Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Sorry to hear this for all who knew him. I knew him to look to but had never chatted until Saturday night after the game. I was on my tod and he was sat next to me at the bar in Bohemen, blathering away. RIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must be having some cracking Nicht afore pairtys up there Met the two of the guys you mentioned. I think I first met Pasty at Italia 90. Met wallpaper Ricky on a plane heading somewhere but can't remember where. He was sitting right behind me when he started singing his wallpaper song. Great characters. RIP both.

Wullie Anderson Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 First met Pasty through a couple of friends of mine(who both sadly passed away these last few years) on my first away trip in the early 80s. Always a character and always cheery. Sad to hear this news.The Records online article is calling him Patsy which reminds me of our ferry trip back from Amsterdam to Newcastle after that wonderful win in Paris.There was a piano player and Pasty kept going up to sing,the piano player called him Patsy all night. R.I.P wee man 🏴🏴 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally Bongo Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Going to Scotland away games seems to have been a major part of his life and from the posts it would appear he has been doing it for 30 years which is some achievement Clearly Norway was a trip too many and on making it home he went to bed and died I can honestly say if i had still been going on away tours i would probably not be here either because all the travelling and binge drinking must take years off you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirrelhumper Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 A well kent face for sure. Was on my flight home from Moldova I'm sure, one of the recent away games anyway. RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan cake Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 (edited) Had a pint with him in Oslo on Thursday after introducing him as a tartan army legend (he loved that stuff) to someone he hadn’t met before. I’m sure a few younger guys put a Pasty legend thing up on YouTube a couple of years ago for him, he was also a “face” of the Hibs club and very well known around leith. Glad he seen his team win one last time Edited June 23, 2023 by dan cake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marky Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 I remember that wee guy from our hotel in Belarus back in 2005. I’m sure it’s him. He was a lovely wee guy. Gave us a compilation CD that we continued to play for years on our trips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamP Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 In 1990 we got picked up by a bus in Edinburgh. It was the hands of hibs badges I remember. Great character. He had a great time following Scotland though. Apart from suffering depression like the rest of us. Part of the job. Pity the wee man couldn't make it to Germany when we have finally got a team that look like we can do something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noctonjock Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Was in Oslo but didn't see him . He was directly in front of us v Spain and always smiling. Glad I got to know him. Great wee character. RIP Wee Pasty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N4Footsoldier Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Shared a few pints with him on one of the Davy Bus Tours to Northern Cyprus the last time we went out there. I suppose Cyprus as the next trip will be a fitting one to raise a glass to him in that case. Not a shy man at all to say the least. Told some stories about when he would go to games in the 80s and how some of the games got a bit tasty between rival fans, particularly the England games. Changed days now which is for the best I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
