Any one remember the old sgt who used to be in the northstand what a c**t he wasStrangely enough, my only visit to Fulham nick, and then to Horseferry Road was following an FA Cup match at Fulham on a day when we didn't have a game. I think they were playing Leicester or one of the Sheffield teams. Anyway, we were up the away end and got bored so walked out, intending to go up the other end. Outside the ground, we ran into another mob of Chelsea who were being escorted away from Craven Cottage by the old bill, and they of course wanted to lump us all together. Muggins here argued the toss. "You're going with that lot". said the old bill. "I'm f**king not" said I, "they're f**k all to do with me." "Ok clever f**ker, you're nicked." Obstructing the Old Bill.
Oh yes. Every home game we had a battle of wits. Me trying to get into the North Stand, him trying and usually succeeding in keeping me out. The bloke just didn't like the look of me. I'd turn up with a girl, he'd let her in, and he'd tell me to f**k off. I'd see people I knew, nodding to me, calling to me and he'd let them in while telling me I should know by now I wasn't going in and that was that. Many a time I as North Stand up the Shed and it was all down to that bar steward.Any one remember the old sgt who used to be in the northstand what a c**t he was

There was another sergeant up Euston, known as the Penguin but not to his face. Fat bar steward, his not so secret weapon was his massive gut. He'd waddle towards you looking menacing but you'd stand your ground. He'd flex that gut of his - BOING - and knock you flying.
I used to move around a bit, but mostly I lived around West London/Middlesex way. Bilko had a bit of an accent, West Country if I remember rightly.Could well be me who write this post thats him old bilko like doing the hokey cokey where was you living doc in the 70s?
