Who's Banksy ?

[SamJenkins]

I heard that Banksy had been a goal keeper in a football club in his youth and had even participated in a championship in Spain, I believe. Can anyone confirm this information ?

I can confirm Banksy has had to get their stomach pumped multiple times from swallowing too much semen

He seems to be 48 years old but Robert Del Naja is about 56 by now. Their heights match but between different pictures from the inside of his own book "Piece and Wall" he seems to be at least two different people.
On pages 171 an 173 he seems to be different. I don't know the difference in timing between the two as only the latter date has been specified. So it's somewhere between 2004 and maybe 2005 ? All the other pictures from the museum pranks revolve around these two years.

So the info about the soccer club was that he actually played as a goalkeeper for the Easton Cowboys and Cowgirls in 2001. The pictures were altered, though.

One of the members of Massive Attack, his art popping up in places coincided with tour dates in the area.

A while back, I read something that described Banksy as a 'glib shitmonger', and I haven't yet found a more accurate description.

The answer to your question is - Banksy is a over rated hack who mistakes his "art" as deep social commentary, rather than vandalism using stencils.

If you want someone whose a graffiti artist that has a real impact on his community, look at Wanksy.
