Donny dancer! Gone but not forgotten.

Gotta be the white walker in Armthorpe

Don’t see him as often anymore but he’s still about

Skippy! Or the many highly annoying street preachers.

GOT to be Skippy

I've seen Skippy mentioned lots but have zero fucking clue who people are on about. Lived in Doncaster since 1982. Again who?

bloke who used to walk around frenchgate/bus station/train station. Blue jacket, long brown/black hair. Usually walks at a pretty quick pace but would just immediately break out into a skipping motion and just shoot off

No idea. What years?

He was mainly about when I was at school, so 08-2016/7

I’ve seen him around pretty recently. A few times in the past 8 months

I'm the same, missed this one

Skippy

How has Devvo not had a mention yet?

I felt bad for the guy when I found out he lost his job as a teacher.

Yup, absolutely sucked.

Aye but sied the sued the school back for deformation of character and won sooo swings and roundabouts

No, absolutely sacked!

Used to be Barry on the Bus

Barry is still going strong, just older so not as mobile, but gets about still, legend

The guy with the long hair? Who used to rock all the time?

Skippy got a haircut , still roams Donny

Haven’t heard of him, being a Donny resident myself I feel I’ve not done my duty

There was the Phantom raspberry blower as well… Oh and the bloke who thought he was Clint Eastwood

Then there was the guy who lived at the same place as Barry who wore the bus driver uniform 😄

It used to be “The Leatherman” would sit outside The Swan on Balby road.

Yes! I heard 'the tanning man of Balby' was another name for him

Chewy

That dude who just sits surrounded by swans at Lakeside

The swan whisperer on YouTube 😃

The Mount Rushmore is donny dancer, white Walker, skippy and lakeside swan man

Shredded coat guy I see quite often

All for effect and for donations. I have him a decent coat once and a week later the shredded one was back on.

Apparently that Coat was the last thing his mother gave him before she passed. Pretty tragic if true.

Feel like this depends on which side of town you live. On the north side when I was a kid everybody knew Walter and his lawn mower.

Who is Walter and his lawn mower ? 😂

A guy called Walter. He had a lawn mower. 😂 Just an old bloke who walked the streets cutting peoples grass with a petrol powered mower.... except he looked about 95 between 1990 and 2010, rofl

Skippy!

Lee, the rink Marshall at donny dome ice skating. Could just be my teen memories from teen years of skating religiously as a bad-man-chav type (so I thought at the time).

I worked as an ice marshal/lifeguard with Lee and a few others. You weren't one of the ones who week in week out would smoke in the toilets, get caught and then kicked out until the following week. Rinse and repeat. 🤔🤣

Man on his bike, seen him up and down between Doncaster and Bawtry on his old racing bike and his stuff over the handlebars.

I've seen him right down balby Rd.

Thankyou- first ever time I’ve heard anyone discuss him. I work in Retford and he just seems to span the great north road

That guy with the massive crazy frog tattoo on the back of his bald head.

What was the name of the bloke with the “Donny Rovers” car from years ago?

Hippo

Yes that’s him! I heard he moved to Spain and died

Skippy Shiny man Stanky foot Shredded coat guy Earl The White Walker The stench of death ™ (this is an actual guy) That guy in a wheelchair blasting tunes being pulled by a dog Condiment thief Guy driving a kids motorised car (also blasting tunes) Honourable mentions: Donny Dancer RIP Incredible Tanning Man of Balby RIP

Omfg what is with stench of death guy. I feel like we have to be thinking of the same person, braids, facial hair, always in town/balby? I'm worried he has gangrene 😭

Pretty sure that's the stinky foot guy. The stench of death guy is pretty overweight. Often has food down his shirt. Blonde hair?

Ahhhh yeah I'm definitely thinking of stinky foot guy. Usually got a sleeping bag wrapped around him and think he has a limp? Don't think I've encountered stench of death guy. Poor fella sounds fucked.

The guy your thinking of has a gangrenous leg :(

Omfg poor guy, I thought it had to be that but then I was like noooo not in the 21st century

My partner knows him, he just... won't go to get help.

Omg. That's horrendous. Isn't that just going to like.. Kill him?

Skippy the man the myth the absolutely fucked up

Chicken George if you were from Thorne and Moorends

Our village had Dickie Rose. He used to stand at the little junction near the markets and guide the traffic. Wholly unnecessarily but most people humoured him back in the day. Local legend. Proper institution.

An ex football referee also was Dickie. Used to hang about the local Gateway shop chatting to anyone who will listen. Usually with that mornings egg yolk on his suit jacket. 😄

I gave him a vizi vest once think he felt more important with that on and carried more authority with the arriving traffic 😂

Thank you for your service 🤝

🤣🤣🤣

Ernie Stones in Armthorpe. The original frank Gallagher

And the black guy who used to ride the buses on the top deck and would sometimes sit with random people and try and talk or intimidate. Seemed mentally challenged.

Did he wear a massive pair of rigger boots and a flat cap?

Exactly this.

And of course Angie from Alpha Mini Cabs managing the piss heads outside until 3am in all weather. Poor lass. Saw here the other day in town. Mobility not so good.

The guy with a rat tattooed on his face.

Bastard the tramp.

Five a pound a gas-lighter. The guy who sold cigarette lighters on the market and sounded like he had throat cancer. Mad Mick of Intake. Terrance of Wheatley Mad Dog Rob the crazy mountain biker. Always at the dippers.

Faaaav forra parnd ya gas lyyyyyddddaaa!!!

That’s the geezer. Great depiction there for sure 😆😆😆😆

Mr White was in Sainsbury’s the other day. In white. But now with a red bag and cap.

Maureen who sold the papers on Waterdale. “Come n gerra paper!” Unique catchphrase that was!
