More commonly known to to many as TLG who use the websites and forums. It is though well known his real name is David Sugarman who resides in a flat in Rhiwbina a suburb of the City of Cardiff.
David is a Civil servant who's main hobbies include in the main watching Cardiff City Football Club, writing about them and their actions on forums and collecting Spiders. Whilst in his now mid forties David remains a single individual with no siblings , a rather very independent character of nature.
David whilst as he states in his own personal claims including entries in to many publications and book titles has followed Cardiff City for many years but only really came to the fore front of publicity when the football Club became under the stewardship of former Wimbledon owner Sam Hammam.
At this time David set himself up under the pseudonym " The Lone Gunman" on the forum www.cardiffcity.com the fans unofficial website which contains a message board and forum for supporters to express their views behind the power of the keyboard. Something that certainly enthralled David as in real life his character is of a quiet nature , far to the extreme of how he likes to express himself on the world wide web under his title of the " The Lone Gunman"
His first expressions in the main after his formation, where to question and attack the reasoning of the Club and the stewardship of the Club under Messer Hammam.
As David Sugarman states himself according to his blog reference title likes to " shoot from the lip"

It's of many opinions though that it should be retitled " shoot from the keyboard" as that is where he expresses his opinion in the main.
Whilst David likes to express himself from the lip he at present has 34 followers on his blog, out of some more than 26,000 Cardiff City supporters who attend Cardiff City Matches and read the related forums to where David considers he " shoots from the lip".
So that is the Character" The Lone Gunman" , how the name was actually formed by himself is still unknown, no doubt the lone part comes from some sort of loneliness living alone apart from with his well mentioned spiders , regards Guns themselves he doesn't really resemble a sharpshooter of an automatic weapon apart from his keyboard of course , maybe he feels thats his " Gun".
Strange but true.
This blog will through 2011 follow the actions of the self claimed sharp shooter and comment in full of his weird actions as he wields his " gun " throughout the year in his beloved safe zone of cyber space.
