Bazza's Bits

Bazza The Lime Pickle Man aka Blocker has, for many years, designed the tour crests for the Old Pretenders.

Here he is playing football...good grief! a pic of an OP in action....


This was the Blankenburg (Belgium) Tour of '99

We actually prefered this of Tarquin The Tortoise impersonating the famous statue of the pissing little boy but it was decided it may offend the Belgians. Considering we almost caused a diplomatic incident I doubt the offence, if any, would have made a ripple...

The only time the OP's took to the Skies for a Channel Islands Tour...

Absolutely disgraceful that this wasn't the final crest for the Norfolk Tour....


A diplomatic incident did occure on The Oxford Tour when the late and much lamented OP supporter Arthur 'Bob The Coach' Barton took the piss out of some Japanese as we punted down the river....


Gracie Fields (actress), Lisa Stansfield (singer), Cyril Smith (politician) and...er....um...Gloria Estefan....
Famous people from Rochdale for The Rochdale Tour. Gloria Estefan might have been there. Well?? She might!!!

One of three Swansea tours. The leek is somehow apt when the OP's defence is considered...


The shirts should have been purple but turned up this odd shade of lilac. 18 hairy arsed piss heads in lilac shirts. An American woman cornered us in a local pub and asked the immortal question..."Heeey! Are you the gay bell ringers of Cambridge?"
There really was no answer to that...

In Portsmouth we were mistaken for a group of EasyJet employees - Orange being EasyJets livery. We were also mistaken somewhat bizarrely for a team of international kite flyers.
We may one day be mistaken for a football team....

This is merely a sample of Bazza's bits.
It is quite remarkable how many people have actually seen Bazza's bits when you come to think about it......
On behalf of The OP's thank you Bazza, and may your studs forever slice through the shinpads of the opposition...
