Henry \u201cSmiley\u201d Daniels (64), \u2019n boorling van Robertson, bly die afgelope 32 jaar in Worcester, maar sy hart l\u00ea steeds in Robertson.<\/p>\n

Standard<\/em> het gaan inloer by Robertson Town-rugbyvoetbalklub se grootste ondersteuner in Worcester.<\/p>\n

Daniels, wat in 1990 Worcester toe getrek het, is \u2019n trotse Robertson Town-ondersteuner. Sy huis is die kenmerkende wit en blou van Town se kleure, maar, s\u00ea hy, hy is eintlik ontevrede omdat hulle nie die presiese blou gekry het wat hy wou h\u00ea nie. <\/p>\n

\u201cAs ek s\u00ea die huis moet \u2019n ander kleur geverf word, s\u00ea hy vir my \u2018Hou by die blou\u2019,\u201d vertel Daniels se vrou,\u00a0Ant Sussie.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Daniels s\u00ea baie van die mense in die dorp vra hom hoekom hy nog nie een van die ander spanne in Worcester gekies het om te ondersteun nie.<\/p>\n

\u201cHulle s\u00ea: \u2018Jy is al 32 jaar in Worcester en het nog nie na Villa verander nie!\u2019 Dan s\u00ea ek: \u2018Het jy gesien of daar rooi en geel strepe in die lug is? Daar is niks nie, net wit en blou!\u2019,\u201d vertel hy laggend. <\/p>\n

Tot sy kleinkinders ondersteun die wit en blou van Robertson Town. \u201cMy kleinkinders dra ook hul wit en blou met trots.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hy s\u00ea sy liefde vir die span en rugby het begin toe sy pa hom as kind saam rugbyveld toe geneem het. Van daardie oomblik af het die rugbygogga gebyt. <\/p>\n

Ant Sussie s\u00ea hy gaan so ver om op die nasionale pad te gaan staan en wag vir sy span wanneer hulle weg speel. <\/p>\n

Hy gaan selfs verder om te ryloop wanneer sy span speel. <\/p>\n

\u201cOf dit nou Montagu of Ashton is, ek hike<\/em> om my span in aksie te sien,\u201d s\u00ea Daniels. Ant Sussie voeg by selfs die re\u00ebn kan nie haar man keer om by \u2019n wedstryd te wees nie.<\/p>\n

\u201cEk en Jerome Michaels is van die min Robertson Town-ondersteuners buite Robertson. Dit is wat ons uniek maak.\u201d<\/p>\n

Daniels het self in die jare tagtig vir die tweede en derde span uitgedraf en s\u00ea sy liefde vir Robertson Town is onbeskryflik. Sy gunstelinglied is We care for the White and Blue<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
