What's this thing about Meatloaf being a Pools fan? What's the reason for this? Did he ever turn up? Stay over?

The Unlikely Fan ConnectionThe Choice: When asked to support a famous Premier League team on TV, Meat Loaf picked Hartlepool United because their story was unique and funny.The Toy: He proudly carried the H'Angus cuddly toy onto shows like football AM and Channel 4's The Graham Norton Show.The Support: He even called the team's manager to encourage him and looked at buying a local home.

I'm sure I heard something about one of his road crew was from Hartlepool and used tell loads of crazy Hartlepool stories, and Mr loaf loved the stories.

Yes Jamie he has passed away now but why be so negative when at the time it was a bit of great publicity for the club. I remember Jeff Stelling presenting him with a Hangus doll.

Nothing negative about my comment just keeping posters upto date in case they were hoping for him to drop into The Vic for first game of the season.
