Looks like another local hero has emerged ![]()
I was just about to mention Fat Les, the man with the magic powers.

I can assure you none of these people have got anything on Jeremy up in Whitehaven!
He walks the streets or the trains 24/7 yelling "Yeah yeah, that's right yeah, off back to London now aren't I, gotta see my girlfriend Jill Foley..." Jill Foley is actually his mental health worker.
Other gems of his are "Yeah, I went to school with the Krays, and Hitler didn't I....I went to Wormwood Scrubs for a while too...yeah I'm mental me..."
I really do hope some of you make the journey up there for the friendly in January and get to meet this character!

"Leeds is the greatest club in Rugby League"

| Quote: LFCPatriotRhino "A feller around Swarcliffe called Bod, always pished but happy nontheless, hes been around for years and even has his own facebook group 
I can remember walking down Stanks Drive in the eighties and coming across a traffic jam like something off the M25. As i got to the front of the jam there was Bod stood in the middle of the road "sword Fencing" a double decker bus like one of the 3 musketeers. There were about thirty people on the bus but nobody fancied getting off to confront Bod. This was when the substance of choice was glue and Bod never went anywhere without his large bag of Evo-Stick. He'll probably outlive us all !

I’ve yet to come across him in the street but there’s some fab pictures of him on facebook!

See him at the bus stop near us sometimes, attempting to control the buses with his powers.
He possesses probably the most powerful odour I've ever encountered from another human being. |

Curly hair and a dodgy tash. He was a nice chap who also became town crier for Leeds. His best line one Christmas time was "It's FREEZING, even with TWO pairs of tights on!"
The chap who sat outside Lewis' for donkey's years selling the Evening Post who used to shout "Eeeeedie Po" (think he's been mentioned already)
I don't think anyone has mentioned Mr Wavy-man (as we christened him). He was some kind of religious type who would walk everywhere, all over Leeds in just his monks clothing (tied at the waist with white rope, IIRC). No shoes, but did wear sandals in all weathers, always smiled, always waved. Used to see him all over the place. |

He is still knocking about I think saw him walking over woodhall the other day. Unless there is another monk.
Not seen half pint bob in otley for a while |

I think we should have a statue made of him to replace the barrel man outside the St Johns centre. More people probably know Fat Les more than the barrel man. Mind you I’m sure someone will have some knowledge on why the barrel man is there. If not I’m in town later and will do some reaserch myself!

I think Barrel Man is a statue of a brewer from Dortmund (hence the statue is in Dortmund Square), Leeds' twin town. |
