Harrow's finest.

Saturday,myself and approximately 100 others attended an evening with one our greatest goalscorers at a social club in Ruislip,West London and a good time was had by all.
He spoke honestly about Bates, Speedo etc and heaped plenty of praise on our fans from back in the day and also gave us the full story regarding his fall from grace.
A pleasure to have been there along with probably 75+ Chels,mainly from Harrow and the local area and good to see so many old faces.
Well done all involved.

Plenty of time spent on the Q and A section.
Gambling seems to have been the start but was helped by the club especially The chairman,who he sort of saw as a father figure.He was asked if he was contradicting what he'd said in his book about Bates but gave the perfect answer saying every son has had a row with his dad.
He intimated he'd been the victim of a set up by someone when he received an early morning visit from OB looking for the usual which was a waste of his and their time saying " you can come to your own conclusions".
The incident in the Nags head pub was him being pushed too far and he reacted probably like we might have done too but he wasn't on top form at the time.
Obviously he's got a DVD and book to promote but he was good value and mixed with everyone posing for photos,talking about the bust ups with teammates and opposition,(great story about Alan McDonald,QPR centre back)and his and the teams awareness of what was going on off the pitch at Brighton,seeing us all over Highbury on that opening day, Friday night at City etc.
He's now back doing some hospitality at SB and getting on with his life so good luck to him.Back in the 80's he gave us some of the best times we ever had as fans and regardless of recent times  he should be remembered for that.
He seemed a bit embarrassed when someone called him King Kerry but that's what he was at the time with a goal tally worthy of any top striker.

Yesterday, we said goodbye to another long time lad from up this way, namely John "Gonzo" Gonzales, aged 61 who had battled against his illness for a long time. He was well known to plenty, in and around our surrounding area as well as Watford ,Hemel, MK, Fulham, North Kensington etc and BITD,would have been seen in The Ifield, The Lily,7 Stars, The tournament, POW etc and had for a few years, shared a season ticket with similar long term supporter, his sister,Maria.
The club had previously been told of his passing and sent a letter of condolence and supplied a bag of lapel pin badges which were worn by plenty, including those who don't follow Chels.
Carried from the church to the tune of the Liquidator, he was buried in Stanmore, North west London with a Chelsea flag covering his coffin and family and friends remembered him and his love of old school reggae with the usual enthusiasm after.
So, no more will players be a accused of being " Lacka-sidaisycal" !
RIP Gonz.

I think we were in the trinity stand that day and remember our lot coming in the right side of the Holt end just as the game ended. Lot of H to H outside too.The memory a bit blurred but think we took a 'luxury' coach  a year or two later and were seated above the away end. The driver took us back to a pub we used to regularly stop at outside MK and when we left later he was so bladdered he wanted one of our lot to drive it home. We sobered him up with a pizza.

That looks like a certain Mark G from Woking for those of you who know him. last time I saw him he was hairless and apart from his face, completely tattooed.
