Vic Flowers

Victor "Vic" Flowers is a cricket supporter from Oldham, England and is often referred to as the unofficial leader of the Barmy Army.

[2] Flowers first joined the Barmy Army in 1998 after being inspired by the England supporters in Melbourne.

[6][7] In 2006 he led criticism of Cricket Australia for their ticketing policies at the Gabba after they split up English fans and ejected Billy Cooper, the Barmy Army's trumpet player.

He was once barred[9] from attending an Ashes match at Headingley Stadium in 2009 by the England and Wales Cricket Board but due to intervention from Yorkshire County Cricket Club Chief Executive Stewart Regan, this was overturned.

[10] In addition, later in 2009 when attending a Test match in Durban, South Africa with the Barmy Army, Flowers was attacked by two men who knocked him to the ground and then hit him with a flag.
