Coracle Man - the other score
Which team will hoof the ball out of the ground into the River Severn and trouble Coracle Man the most?
I forecast 1 - 1.

Re: Coracle Man - the other score
As far as I know, they've now got a chap with a big net.
Fred Davies, the coracle man, passed on some years ago. There's a lovely story about him once chasing the ball down river at a night match and then realising it was a swan! |

Re: Coracle Man - the other score
For many years the club was well known for its 'Coracle Man', Fred Davies. Davies was a local coracle maker who during home matches would take his coracle to the River Severn, which runs alongside one side of the Gay Meadow. Davies would then spend home matches collecting stray footballs that were kicked into the river before returning them back to the club. Although Fred Davies has since passed on, his legend continues, with many football fans associating Gay Meadow with the 'Coracle Man'. Coincidentally, Fred Davies's namesake would manage the club in the 1990s.
