What has happened to Bernie?  I haven't seen him for quite a while.  I hope he is ok?  Does he still get to watch City?

Saw him towards the end of last season in a wheelchair being wheeled around by someone outside the ground. Never seen him so clean.

A true legend of Leicester, would argue with his shadow for no real reason. 

 

I remember a post on here ages ago that had an article about him from the 60's. 

 

The club should give him a testimonial!

My uncle is the guy who takes him to most of the home games, Bernie still has his season ticket

 

Bernie is doing okay, lives in a care home with his wife in Loughborough and goes to pretty much all home games (apart from the odd ones he misses due to illness)

 

There is a supporters group on Facebook, if anyone is interested, there is the odd occasion where my uncle cannot take him so they look for volunteers to help out

On 30 minutes the stadium clears for us all to go Morrison’s and return on 60 mins with our shopping and every toilet roll in the stadium.

He's as much of foxes folklore as Jobber and Lineker. Often used to see him home and away. He would argue with himself in a phone box, but what a great character.

 

What says Leicester to you?  Clock Tower, red cheese, Filbert Fox, cream and maroon buses, jittys and me ducks? Bernie also on the list for me. 

 

Have often wondered what his story was.

How has he afforded a season ticket for all these years?!

Heard from a few different people that hes absolutely loaded. One story said he was being paid into the wrong bank account at work and only realised 2 years later. 

 

Of course it could all be part of the legend.

Irrelevant & stupid question

 

Hardly irrelevant in a topic about the man is it?

 

And surely wondering how a man who, for the past god knows how many years, has looked either mentally ill / absolutely twatted / both, has enough money to renew his season ticket every year is entirely reasonable. Face paint ain't cheap you know.
