Give me a boozer who is also a genuine fan and goes to games over a boozer who has latched on to Charlton & sits behind a keyboard any day.
I rarely went to a match sober in my single days. Some of the football was so dire I pitied the fans who were sober. One of the stars of the team then was Les Berry, who is now up for induction into the Hall of Fame, which made me chuckle.
I remember the match programme just before Les broke into the team and was playing for the reserves, he was described as a future England International .... to be fair, England were not very good then.
A cult figure, a bit like Carl Leaburn. I remember his testimonial, where every massive hoof up the park was greeted by delirious cheering.
I played in a charity football match against an undertakers eleven back in the day. Lawrie Madden was the referee and Jimmy Saville's brother did the commentary. Lawrie had to have a word with me after a robust tackle on one of the undertakers. You could say I nearly buried him.
Fair play to Madden, he became a pundit for a while after he quit playing. Needless to say, he was a better pundit than he was a footballer
That was weird. After being rejected by us and Millwall for being garbage he became an integral part of the Massives first team in the first division.
Will be getting off at Lewisham in five minutes. If I have not posted by 15.00 assume I have either been stabbed or somebody has pinched my phone. #prayfortheelf
