Anyone else remember the guy with the big sack of "monkey nuts" that used to go around Selhurst in the 60's/70's/80's. You would put your hand up and he'd chuck a bag up at you. He collected his money later and I realised how he knew who to approach - because you had a pile of the outsides of the nuts down by your feet on the terraces! A greasy burger beforehand, a cup of bovril and then the nuts. It's like I am back at Selhurst watching Swindlehurst notch another goal

It was strange about whatever happened to him.Me and some mates travelled upto to Villa Park in 1962,as we were playing Villa in a cup match,and he was on the coach and kept everyone ammused with his banter,loved Johnny Byrne who got two goals and Uphill the other in a game we lost 4-3.On the way back we were all a bit fed up but he still carried on with his gags.

I remember the cry: "Roasted peanuts, ten pence a bag!"
