Default Rockin' Robin biking in front of the kop - seeking the man in the outfit

Most of us are old and ugly enough to remember the day our wonderful original mascot Rockin' Robin jumped on an old push bike and rode it alongside the pitch in front of the kop.

I am keen to track down the person who was in the suit that day (yes, RR is not real - sorry kids).

Geraint Parry tells me he was a student at Yale College at the time and hails from Coventry, but he cannot recall the guy's name.

If anyone can help me locate this guy or offer up any info which may help me track him down I'll be indebted.

Many thanks.

I am pretty sure his name was Bob ,because I got him 2 Coventry City tickets.
He did the first Rocking Robinogram at my 50th birthday party .
He came with Allan Thomas so that is who you should ask.

Give Andy a ring at the Lager Club. Pretty sure Rockin Robin worked there.

It was hilarious at the time - a full grown enormous Robin riding a bike pitch side in front of the kop and up the Mold Road side hoisting a Welsh flag aloft - this whilst the match was in progress !

Didn't the club get in a bit of mither over it ?

Can anyone remember which match it was ?

Wonder where Tina Turfit and Robson are these days ?

Rockin and Tina were married on the pitch just before we kicked off a league match v Burnley (can you imagine us playing Burnley in the league ? seems like a lifetime ago now.

Sack the Dragon, give the people what they want - bring back Rockin !

We got crowds of 2980 in League 1. Some might say we didn't appreciate what we had but I prefer the more bleak view that the football is going to be a bit rubbish whatever division we're in.
