Quote Hoof Hearted at 10 Aug 2010 10.01am 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 fond memories totally forgot about the nuts...nice one

That old lady used to say:- "ROASTED peanuts, SIXpence a bag, roasted". Emphasis on the capitals. Sometimes bought them and shared them with my mate. His dad used to say "Blind O'Reilly" when something went wrong, which was often. That was 25 years before Gary O'Reilly. Sometimes I'd have walked to the ground with my grandad who lived off Davidson Road and by the time we got to the ground, there'd be 6 or more of us in a group. This was about 1964 or so, when I start to remember things more clearly, I was about 8 then. Later on I used to meet my mates on the "big step" which was about half-way back on the Holmesdale, separating the upper & lower halves of it. This was about where my grandad's group used to stand years earlier. And it's roughly where I sit now. I can also remember one end-of-season game v Huddersfield, probably 1971, when it rained all day and the top of the Holmesdale was just mud and we kept sliding down. Sad bugger.
