The bloke who introduced Bob to Vic used to post on here for a bit. His name is on the tip of my tongue but I can’t quite remember it.

He seemed quite bitter (somewhat understandably, I reckon) and used to occasionally post some gossip about Bob, as well as a few other showbiz names (including one person in particular, who again I can’t remember. I think he may have been a comedy promoter or magazine editor who had ‘wronged’ him) only for him to subsequently delete them once he’d calmed down.

I think his first name may have been Alan, but his username on here was his surname.

Didn't he die once and then come back to life?

Kingy

I read Bob's autobiography recently and he got a mention.

Sadly Kingy did finally pass away and had an obituary in the comedy press.

At the end of July it was reported that Alan King, who worked with comedian Vic Reeves at the start of his comedy career, had died. It now appears that this is incorrect.The news had appeared on the internet and had been confirmed to Beyond The Joke. It is unclear how the confusion arose. BTJ...

Yes I used to know the brothers in question - I haven't seen or heard them recently but I wouldn't count out meeting one of them when I am selling fanzines. Usually wearing a snorkel coat and wanting to point out something unusual one would often come across and speak in a Stott voice. I don't know if they really are the Stotts but they spoke the same and were extremely chatty and were so surreal.
I guess the most memorable conversation I had with them was about the vote for the name for the new Boro stadium back in 1995. They asked me what name I had voted for, I said Erimus,. I asked them what they had gone for. "Ham."
"Ham? What do you mean, Ham Stadium?" I replied in bemused fashion.
"No just Ham."
You don't forget that kind of conversation especially when delivered in deadpan Stott voice, with his brother also chipping in with a similar voice tone.

That's genius.
 
We first met when they both came up to me asking what I was doing?
Selling a fanzine
What is a fanzine?
Then they would ask me questions about Boro and something that had nothing to do with Boro and then just go, maybe in mid sentence.

I was walking to the match with my Mam and Dad, not long after the new stadium was opened.

There were two fellas walking a bit slower in front of us and as we passed they said something to us. Can’t remember what it was but I think it was something to do with the match, “what do you think the score will be?” Or something.

Anyway, they talked like the Stotts and I assumed they were having a laugh until I read on fmttm, a few years ago, that they were based on real brothers who went to the match.
