I remember an old school jack called Jeckyll ? Think he drove to an Eastern European country once and took on a load of Cardiff fans at a Wales game ! Anyone remember him ? Drank in the Clarence opposite the old club shop. |  |

I'm still not convinced these. Two are one of the same as per the OP. But all the same, who cares, this is what forums are for. I remember a guy once got a taxi from our boozer to Crewe. Mark ? | |

I once saw Betty Jackal in a black suit at Blackpool away surrounded by attractive girls.
As others have said the mankini/snorkel combo Cardiff Carling Cup was memorable if terrifying.
All the older boys seem to have a different story about him each crazier than the last. |  |

He used to bring some smart birds to the Travs fair play. |  |

Betty once showed my a twelve page letter he'd written to Roberto Martinez on all things he was doing wrong. He once went to Paris when the Welsh rugby team were playing France, had a few drinks, slept on a park bench then came home. He asked me to do the same for the National soccer team in eastern Europe somewhere, I politely declined.
One cold winters night he left his coat in the Market Tavern in Port Talbot and his front door key was in the coat, by the time he got back to the pub it had closed. Anyway he thought he'd go on the train to Cardiff because they had a warm waiting room there. He fell asleep and woke up in Reading.So Betty stayed on the train to Paddington, had a piss and caught the next train back after about twenty minutes stay. Of course on the way home the ticket inspector discovered him, so Betty said he'd just got on last stop and paid from wherever he was. He paid about thirty quid train fare and twenty pence for a piss in Paddington. All he complained about was the price of having a piss in Paddington. |  | | |

He drinks in The Bell, Taibach, now, and lives just across the road from there with a wild rat he's befriended. He first realised he had a rat when all the inside of his loaf of bread was eaten. Betty ate what the rat left. He told me that the rat sleeps on his chest on the downstairs settee. (He doesn't bother with upstairs) Theres loads of stories of Betty but I have only told the ones I know to be true. He once ran the sweep for Euro lottery in the pub, but packed it in because people weren't paying him and saying that they had when he was drunk. Something Betty would never do, he's as honest as the day is long, and would never let a mate down. He sound as a pound.When he wore the mankini out fit I was on hols in Spain but saw the game in a pub on tv. When the camera zoomed in on Betty we all screeched 'It's Betty we know him" The locals looked at us as if we were crazy. | | | |

West Brom away 1981/82.
As we were getting off the buses,the police were lining us up to be searched and were pushing us against a wall in an orderly line.
Betty told a copper not to push him,copper pushes Betty, Betty duly nutted him,put him on his arse. Mayhem,2 nights in a cell and a court appearance monday morning.

These Betty stories are as good as any football book I have bought and some.
Keep them coming, brilliant. |  |

Yeovil away, enjoyable trip ( although always looked closer on map than the actual road trip ) except for the result, bogey team down there. 1 win away ???? They must wonder how we are where we are and dream | |

There was a time when our fans had a supporters football team,they would play the opposing teams fans on the morning of the match,building bridges,peace and love etc. Betty was heavily involved.
During one trip,a group of Bristol City fans were harassing the "pop and crisps" bus at a motorway service station,spoiling for a fight,banging the sides of the bus,and generally being arsholes.
Just as it looked like getting out of hand,Bettys football team rolled up,broke the world record for getting 15 men out of a transit van,no dialogue,straight in,game over. | | | |

Those 3 headbutts in one away match, we'd have been down without him. | |

I also remember him nutting a fella in the Travs because he kept calling him by his real name.  | |

Betty's a Baglan boy,hard as f*ck Baglan boys. |
Betty Jackal - only man I've ever known to drink in the Burgess Green wearing a Swans shirt.
They must be made of some tough stuff in Baglan. |  |

I was with my nephew and a couple of mates going to an away game up north somewhere, on the 'refreshment' stop en route I ran into Betty who was on another bus. "Come into our bus with me" he said,"I'm on my own" I told him "Betty, there's a reason your on your own" He just gave a wry smile on his way back to his bus. Unaccompanied. | | | |

I'd never put the name and the face together before.
He asked me to marry him once - I was next to him at an away match. He was quite charming as I recall. | | | |

He loves the women he was often seen with a stunning bird on his arm.
Weird. | |

I had a plaster over my eye and he was asking me why - it's how the conversation started. I told him I'd fallen off my bike and they'd put on one of those things they do instead of stitches these days when they glue it together. He told me it made me look dangerous and he liked dangerous women, particularly if they supported the Swans and asked me if I wanted to marry him | | | |

I think the word 'legend' is banded about too often
But this word sits freely on this man
What a top man
