Southampton 84/85 I didn't go but remember reading in the papers a fence got demolished outside the ground which seemed a bit pathetic and probably wasn't the case.

. RIP. He was a bit of a hero to all aspiring teenage Jack the Lads. So believable in that role it appeared as though he wasn't acting, which is the sign of great acting.

I really wanted one of those burgundy leather bomber jackets he wore from the second series on for a couple of seasons.

Height of Minder fame he lived in Merton Park. My mate Wayne lived nearby and asked him for his autograph. Not sure whether he doorstepped him or asked him on the street, but he told him to f..k off all the same. Must have caught him on a bad day!

Probably not my mate said his uncle knocked him out in a pub in Shepherds Bush cause he was being totally obnoxious and trying it on with every woman in there.

Really bad that day. On the way back to the coaches and train station, saints fans were behind a school fence where I think they used as a car park. A few got brave shouting stuff and then it all kicked off. The fence started to shake and stuff got thrown at the school. Then a fighting broke out between Chelsea Southampton and the other boys in blue!!

His name is....

That image is one of my lasting memories from Chelsea programmes.

A tabloid did a number on him after Brighton which led to him loosing his job; did he get banned from the Bridge? This pic was 9 months or so afterwards.

The game against Dynamo Moscow in 1945.

BTW that looks like well known CFC character Gerry Kelly below left to Bates with half his face obscured. 

I love that the poor bloke in the wheelchair is next to the parked cars.

 

My late old man’s favourite player. 

Think that this picture may have been posted a while back.

Mate sent me these from Twitter no idea of the poster he deserves credit for these pictures. Bolton 83 Clive Walker scored probably the most important goal in our history till Gronkjaer.

A happy 65th birthday to this guy.

Millwall 84 I didn't go but a bloke who lived on my estate good few years older than me was going with our firm and asked me along I politely declined !. If I did go I would have gone with him/ them walking round Millwall on your own or with a couple of mates was a suicide mission back then as poor old Dale Jasper RIP found out.

 

 

More people I knew watched this show rather than the massively overrated The Tube.
