Does anyone know who this guy is?
Used to be quite near him in the auld east, when he stood up the back. Was the song he used to sing - assume it was called 'Hibees Lullabye' his own? Not a bad tune to be honest...

This guy is one of the memory's I have of the old east I remember sitting in my seat at the corner flag in the north and constantly hearing him and seeing him right at the back singing on his own.
I always used to think, the east was for folk who were mental then I moved there before it got knocked down and realised I wasn't far wrong as fans fought with each other about how best to support the team!

Was it the same guy that sang Can't Help Falling In Love With You?

I mind sitting in the East and it was his b'day that day. Said he was entitled to a free bus pass so went down the library to collect it. Said he waited outside for ages and stared to shout and moan that its a disgrace how late it is and how it wasn't open.
Then he said a woman come over and said I'm sorry sir, but the guy who usually opens it passed away last night. He said he felt a bit bad but was still no happy not getting his bus pass haha.

This could be the same 'Big Stewart' who's legend I was hearing of in Malmo. At first I thought he was an ex player because he was so well known :

He was thrown out and to be honest I think he was about to get hammered if he wasn't.

The guys a legend, my ST used to be near him in the old east. I remember him out of the blue trying to start a chant, he kept at it for about 10 minutes before other people started to join in, A big cheer happened from the people about when it finally got going.

For many many years I sat about 5 rows in front on the other side of the steps, as those will recognise he was at the back next to the exit/entrance so there is no hearesay/cheap shot or anything else and I certainly aint going into specifics as this was many moons ago, I certainly aint a liar nor a PC buffoon and perfectly capable of knowing the diiference to humour and racism.
I also think hes big and old enough to never change, in fact quite the opposite knowing the banter that used to fly about the old east, as i say he was a character and in the main amusing but certainly was tainted for me.

Every time the lino got a decision wrong you could count on a cry of Stevie Wonder following. IIRC the ref was always Mr McGhoo but that would have been lost on anyone under forty?

Edit: Just re-read my comment. To clarify when I wrote utter these words, I meant the words he is famed for "c'mon my bonnie boys" hence identifying him, not the offending words.Last edited by Viva_Palmeiras; 04-09-2013 at 11:12 AM.

was talking to the big s yesterday as he likes to be known and having known him all my life i can assure you he is no racist he just loves the hibs with a passion and having stood with him for years in the old east i never once heard him say a racist comment.

All the REAL fans used to STAND in the open area between what was the cow shed and the covered east terracing.
Them were the days!

He was sat in front of me at Hamilton away a few years ago, he was probably the most entertaining thing about the game!

I remember a game against the Oldco. Remember him slating the hell out of Barry Ferguson. Couldn't stop laughing. The guy was bloody hilarious with the stuff he was coming out with. Far more entertaining than the match itself. Wonder if he is still kicking about the new East with the same personality and passion about Hibs?
