Bang on PCould have been different if it weren't for George Graham who sent him to Sweden on loan for experience and to test his gumption. He apparently had a bit of attitude and wanted to score hollywood style goals so GG thought a culture shock would do him good as it would either make him or break him.
To this day he's still my all time favourite Wall player. He gave me and many of us some wonderful life long memories. What a great time it was to be young and following us back then! He lost a lot of respect from many of our fans after he signed for the tramps. Many don't like him for that. Each to there own but he wasn't Wall, owed us nothing and that was years after he left us.
I’m sure I did.Big Paul probably didn't say - Plus ca Change, plus c'est la meme chose
Remember going mental when that went in
Wot about weller?
Seems like longer than 26 years to me.
That's a bloody good point mate. Have never considered that. One thing for sure is he's brought more joy, smiles and good memories than anything else.The last 25 years at Millwall would've been very different if he'd gone elsewhere.
I can remember that but couldn't remember the opposition.View attachment 25587

Own up…they were rolling down your face.had a tear in my eye for sure
What and ruin my mascara? You must have me down as some sort of cross dressing deviant, shirt lifting Doris or @Ulster LionOwn up…they were rolling down your face.
Saints and demi- gods except
Before my time as well mate, first players I could remember were the likes of chatterton, mehmet ectSaints and demi- gods excepted.
Yep. Every word of that. In my opinion went on to be world class. We haven't had many of that calibreCould have been different if it weren't for George Graham who sent him to Sweden on loan for experience and to test his gumption.

Absolutely mate. Sir Les is one of my all time favourites too. Yes he's still about as is Jimmy Carter. Not certain but i think they do a bit of hospitality work on match days.Another couple of underrated players who loved the club and are legends in my mind are Billy Neill and Les Briley - love seeing Les wandering around on matchday
Not sure about Jimmy mate, but Les definitely does, always looking dapper in his suitAbsolutely mate. Sir Les is one of my all time favourites too. Yes he's still about as is Jimmy Carter. Not certain but i think they do a bit of hospitality work on match days.
I always feel Les is seriously under-rated. Would Terry be as big a legend without Les next to him in the midfield!Not sure about Jimmy mate, but Les definitely does, always looking dapper in his suit
Totally agree on Les, top player.I always feel Les is seriously under-rated. Would Terry be as big a legend without Les next to him in the midfield!
I had my picture take with Les at the Harris testimonial v Hearts that you arranged for me to be in the exec box for (don’t think I ever thanked you for that mate), but took the photo on an android phone I had at the time and now can’t find it. Gutted.
(The pic we took at the testimonial dinner with Razor, Bomber and Bex now hangs in my office)
Used to see both Jimmy and Barry Rowan on the pitch pre-match, escorting bods on and off for ceremonies. Both seem to have been shifted some time ago. Hope they are still involved behind the scenes. Vivid.memories of Jimmy dropping the shoulder, couple of paces towards the bye line, dinking the perfect cross onto Sheringham's head, or to Cascarino's boot. Didn't have 'Assist's in those days. Pity.Not sure about Jimmy mate, but Les definitely does, always looking dapper in his suit
