Who is the man with the big blue hat and white beard who sits in the family box every year, regardless of which player is playing? Is he a gatecrasher?!

if he's in the family box, then doubt he's a gatecrasher. You sure he doesn't have a red hat and beard, or is that too early.....

Is it Papa Smurf?........no, hang on, I think his hat was red

[emmie]

red indeed, and a blue face, must be a john prescott

Thank you Jan1957, it's been puzzling me for years!

Thanks Jan 1957 we have been pondering for years and would have thought the commentators would have mentioned him.
