Gordon,
Gordon the Tramp lives in Bournemouth (somewhere in the Bournemouth area) and can be seen regularly in the town centre. He is famous for being able to tell the correct time to within a minute without a watch, which is pretty bloody good actually. This man is, however, an eccentric. Not the most eccentric, but certainly near the top of the leader board in my book.

I assume Gordon is a fan of the local football club "The Cherries". He attends every game but always sits in the away end. Before the stadium was renovated i used to work as a steward (big orange or yellow coat, usually being hurled abuse at by drunken louts) at this football club and the instructions were, don't give Gordon any trouble, try not to look him in the eye! We were led to believe that if you looked at Gordon he would take offence and try and attack you, this is not the case. It was simply best to avoid eye contact to prevent conversing with him. Unfortunately, i'm one of those reasonably friendly people and we could always be found in conversation prior to a match.

The strangest thing about the whole story is that, although he knew my name he would only call me blondie (i'm ginger - the sort of ginger you wouldn't mistake for blonde) and he would sit at the top right hand corner of the away end and listen to the match on his pink radio! Bloody nutter.

Gordon the Tramp
Is not actually a tramp. He lives in a fairly expensive house in Parkstone and spends most of his days wandering around bournemouth. Absolute legend :)

Go Gordon!
This man is a local treasure. Videos of him are on Youtube and he even has a Facebook group dedicated to him. A tramp with a fanclub!
