John Hoy was their main man in those days, he used to work in the Printing Industry (as i did for 22 years). Their other main feller was the Welsh bloke Jenkins, who rumour had it lived in Bow.

The picture of Chelsea Arsenal in the shed I nicked out of a social studies book when I was at school believe it or not.

May well of done, The 'Bow' location was just a rumour heard in idle 'chit-chat'. On this subject (and according to here-say) DH was a Wandsworth boy, heard 3 years ago that B runs a hardware shop in SW London, not saying where as you never know, walls have ears etc, Donkin lived around the Stoke Newington area, Ronnie Parish (Spurs top guy 1969-72) was Bethnal Green and grew up with the original 'Mile End' mob. SS was from the Barking area, as was BG (further East towards Upminster). 'Harry the Dog' (Millwall) died in Crawley ( long story but got a kicking off him and his crew on the top deck of a bus in 1974), and as i recall when the General's profile was raised, in those days because he lived outside of London, initially some negative comments were heard here and there, which were proved to be false as we all know.

Anyone remember or heard of the supposedly main man of Q.P. Ha Ha Ha in the mid 70's known as 'Ellie' or something like that?. Apparently had a limp!. Probably got that at the 'Bridge!'

 
DM (Arsenal) lived on the Caledonian Road or near it.  His next door neighbour who I knew to speak to was Chelsea.

 
The original 'General' lived and travelled to Chelsea games from Scotland

 
There is a lot i dont know......I always thought Hickey was the original GENERAL in the original headhunters....and wasnt he from Tonbridge or tunbridge wells.

In his book he states he comes from Tonbridge wells. Star mentions the "Original" general so maybe he means someone else???? When I first starting going to Chelsea some of the older fellas knew some of his group, I remember meeting 'em at Man city away and a large number of them were from Kent.
