    It's a con - his legs are normal - it's his torso that's backwards. Don't be fooled into giving him money.

    He's the backwards man. He can walk back as fast as you can.

    He'll kick you in the back of your head. (as opposed to the face.)

    He'd be an excellent penalty taker for the world cup final - but you'd only get one go of him so use it wisely.

    That was before Back to the Future.

    He has worked since tho. I think he played a deformed hillbilly in "Twister".

    For a fella with bad legs, he fairly gets about the place.

    Reminds me of a limerick.

    There was a odd man named Fred,
    Who had eyes at the back of his head,
    He had no way of knowing,
    Which way he was going,
    "But I now where I've been to!". He said.

    Yup have seen this guy in Galway, really freaky...

    My cousin nearly stepped on him!! :eek:

    Prob jus a scammer lookin for money, saw this happen in Rome where the police came over to a woman at the Trevi fountain and made her unbandage her leg which made it look like below her knee had been amputated... she took it down and walked away, then hobbled back one leggedly a while later :rolleyes:
