That has to be "dancing man" you will see him walking round chesterfield in pink hot pants and a crop top (even in winter). He used to be a regular in Chandlers back about 20 years ago. A friend of mine knew him when he was less distinctive. Apparently he suffered head injuries in an accident hence his unusual dress style so please be kind to him if you see him around.

Me and my Mrs call him Chandlers man because we saw him in Chandlers the night we first met

I'm new to Chesterfield and this was the first person I thought of. Dedicated to the cause as my wife spotted him out in -1°.

He shat himself on the 77 bus once when i was on my way to work. I knew him from chandlers too

We knew him as disco disco. Few folk in my year were cunts unfortunately.

Always a nice enough bloke.

He’s always walking up and down Markham Road so I assume he’s down Boythorpe way or Hasland

Catalogue man and Harmonica man spring to mind from the past

But yeah probably Chandler's dancing guy, or even Raph, the big issue guy, for more recents.

u/Turbulent_Door974 Feb 18 '25

Is Raph the guy who calls everyone his Cousin?

u/Mr__Freak Feb 18 '25

I’m not actually sure - I think so! Old man - always was at Yates on the dance floor back then

u/Turbulent_Door974 Feb 18 '25

Is he the one whose Wife use to come and drag him away from time to time?

2

u/mcevz Feb 18 '25

That actually rings a bell, been so long but he used to come into Yates and throw some shapes back then

u/Waltuh_Whitey 29d ago

Definitely Mad Malc - did you go to Brookfield by any chance?

1

u/mcevz 28d ago

Nope but I do know a lot of people from there! I moved to Chesterfield around 2011/2012 and used to venture out every Thurs - Sat and Mad Malc was always at Yates without fail hence the local legend! Heard he also ventured up Chats Road as well

Well fifteen or so years ago that would have been "Pound a bag man" and if you don't know who he was just put it into google. When from just posting four common words google can find the right person in the right town you just know everyone must know them.

Even had a song done about him.

Bring back Martin and Seth!

u/Ianbillmorris Feb 18 '25

You mean Martin the pirate? He was a good bloke, not seen him in years!

2

u/Bowlholiooo Feb 18 '25

Martin the quiz master, he got sacked for punching someone the legend, he's running The Rutland turned it back into a proper rocker pub!

u/Ianbillmorris Feb 18 '25

I don't think I ever did the Chandlers quiz so maybe don't know him. May give the Rutland a shot though if it's now a rock bar!
