You’d have thought they’d have taken down the old concrete floodlight support structure after new lights were incorporated into the East Stand? 

We were so skinted out back then it’s demolision was probably seen as frivolous. 

Bit of corrugated iron on show- hardly ever see it now, but London was full of that stuff in the 70s/ 80s

 

Great picture above ,some odd things going on, the guy on the left hand side ,sitting down with one foot up,the guy on the far right standing almost behind the corrugated ,he is a loner or just after a better view ?

Shoot Magazine.

Memories.

My football weekly reading fix as a kid.

My mate sent me a page of the Mail On Sunday, dated 27 January, where it was a question and answer piece with Chopper as the subject matter. Ron shooting from the hip as per usual! For example....question...What do you think about how much footballers earn? ....answer...."overpaid prima donna footballers" was mentioned, so you can get the gist of his reply. A true leader on the pitch. He'd have probably chinned Kepa for disobeying his manager.

I read that. Good no nonsense article.

I liked the bit when Tommy Doc asked him to take out Bestie proper.

Chopper “ But what if I get sent off”

Tommy Doc “ They’ll miss Bestie more than we miss you”

And an 'unsuspecting forward' was going to get a trademark Ron Harris tackle !

I loved it when Ray Wilkins started writing a  weekly column back in Sept 77.

Old Git that I am !

No history, some say...
