Nice obituary

A little before my time but a few on here might have seen him in a ‘Wall shirt. When I was a kid I remember the old timers down the Den speaking highly of him.

Never supported another club, but I do look out for the results of a few different clubs …Port Vale, Atletico Bilbao and Torino

When I first saw Stan play was in the 1957/58 season. It might be because I was a young kid and easily impressed but you are right…he had the biggest thighs that I ever saw on anybody, they were fucking huge!!

Don’t turn up.

And they cost next to nothing on transfer fees. Jeez Benny Fenton had knack of finding gems!

He gave the best performance that I ever saw from any player from any team when we stuffed the Palace 5/0 (or 5/1 can’t remember). He absolutely slaughtered them day. Cheeky fucker made a point of being the last man off the pitch at the end of the game to lap up all the richly deserved applause...

I was hoping for a reply but not as complete as that…a real gent and one of my schoolboy heroes

Below is what happened from the man himself who had the decency to reply to my question « Shame you didn’t get in that night as it was another dour battle with lots excitement. Anyway,to answer your question about who was the culprit who helped Spurs score the only goal of the game. I have to...

I was locked out with countless others that night but a mate of mine got in and said it was Tommy who played the best pass of the game….but to Gilzean.

I went to both games and the return at the Den will live with me to the day I snuff it. I’ve experienced a lot of atmospheres at games but absolutely nothing compared to that night.Pissing down with rain, a typical Old Den muddy pitch and 35000 plus fans roaring them on. If ever a crowd could be...

Too right! He was getting slaughtered after his first few games and Bryan King wasn’t convincing anybody either. How did those two turn out?!!

I have two sons who were both born in Marseille and for the first 8/9 years of their lives followed football supporting Marseille. Now that we live in the Paris region they don’t really support any club. They have become football supporters more than just supporting one club. I have taken both...

There is also when 3/0 up away at half time doesn’t always end as we think it will. I think it was ‘67or 68 away to Derby I was working on the Saturday afternoon and had a chance to listen to the half time scores on the radio. Tuned in for the full time results WTF 3/3!!!

Condolences to you and your family. May she rest in peace.
