was extremely proud of my rattle (made in woodwork class kennington school for boys circa 1963) took it to whatever game it was and absolutely delighted when i first got to use it on the old arthur terraces, well that is for about 10 seconds, after that first go the old arm needed a rest,it was quite heavy as i remember so only short bursts were possible,well only one short burst really, after that initial burst an older lad next to me said that it sounded like someone hitting a stick on a drainpipe,oh what despair, that rattle never saw the light of day again

ROFL !!!!

Talking of one's wife, my dear lady in front of a mirror said she felt really fat and ugly and asked if I could cheer her up by paying her a compliment.I told her that her eyesight was good !

ORANGE AND BLACK?!! Seen a doctor?

I used to rummage through the used ticket boxes on the bus platforms for half used ticket rolls,they flew really well and were easier to smuggle in to the holmesdale,left wrist for silk/satin scarf,right hand for launching said missiles/chanting Eagles Eagles!,happy days.

And what happened to rosettes?

And little star shaped plastic badges with a picture of your favourite player in the middle.

And, the newspaper seller shouting out some totally incomprenhensible sales patter - "geyereveninnooseere"

Half price after night games, stale dry buns!! Yummy those were the days eh?

Used to buy a bag of roast chestnuts on Whitehorse lane
