I was at this game Colin Viljoen scores from this free kick but it was disallowed because it was indirect.

It is very possible. I'm an old f**k now at 55. 

Used to go to "The Beckenham" and "La Trecs" (excuse the spelling) in the early 80's, Champagne bar in the nineties. Also Dr Crippens in Bromley South early 80's and there were a few bars Bromley North (not far from Allders),

Also used to sometimes venture out to Croydon and Purley

I was going to put this in the Rangers section but to be honest I thought more people would read it if I put it here.

Cheers for that. A good read, plenty decent background information.

To be fair. Their supporters tandem had a puncture,so their support was down...

I know we laugh about their away support years ago but the proof is in the pudding in that photo.  Is that Steve Wicks playing for them?

Yeah I went to tights, can't remember whether it was called la trecs or tights first. Small world.

I know that this picture has been posted before. One of my favourites with fans queuing for tickets in 1952.

The fight like your fans pic reminds when they used to do the face in the crowd in the programme. I used to look every week to see if I was in the crowd alas I never was.

Think it's Tony Currie. Yes Rangers support was truly laughable back in the day Orient used to bring more.

Boy this brings back memories of too much "Red Barrel" consumption back in the day.

Tony Currie was a good midfielder at his peak.

Remember him playing for England at Hampden back in 1978.

Individually and collectively.

Apart from a team whose home strip would be stripes. Say Southampton or Notts Country!

Wasn't sure if I had asked a daft question. To be fair it has been known...

I think that's Bert Murray in the suit, Bobby Tambling behind, Alan Harris squatting down and dear old Harry Medhurst  dishing out the beer.

I remember the face in the crowd section in the programme. Used to look out for it as well. Reminds me of a few years back when I was heading to my seat in the MHU and those who sit around me were congratulating me. I didn't know what they were talking about until it was pointed out to me that my seat number had been chosen in a raffle and I had won a £50 voucher to spend in the club shop.
