Biggest character you've ever met

[dickythorpe]

Forget about the famous or the rich, I'm talking about real characters that are out there on our streets.
I obviously walked past Teabag in Swansea, Zoro in Carmarthen, Bumper the tramp who used to say "Mary" every 30 seconds was another delight to encounter in Carmarthen growing up.

However the winner is a man who used to yell "Baaah!" regardless of what you said to him.

People who perhaps were a little bit saner include an ex-marine who was a neighbour of mine
Tony Toms hailed from Laugharne but ended up working with Jack Charlton, Alan Knott and even Madonna to name but a few ...the best is that he made a young Neil Warnock shit himself on a Yorkshire Moors trainng camp.
Unfortunately Tony passed away last year.
There are talks about a book or documentary coming out about him.

Max is probably the biggest.
