If I remember wasn't he a ref on a Sunday morning too
Somewhere like that Oslo - was it palo in with Palace fans away in league cup years ago[/quotI did not go to last league cup game at selhurst park when I think SOD was the manager So can't comment on what paylo got up to.I did go to the league cup 2nd leg game there against place about 35 years ago .rovers got beat but best memory of this game was the coach that I went down on never turned up outside the ground after the game.There was a coach load of us all stood outside selhurst park on the street corner and everyone else had fcuked off home ages ago ,even floodlights were turned off.Then the police came by and asked us what we was all upto .thry was told that our coach had not turned up to take us back to pubcaster.Police got on the radio and sometime later our coach turned the corner and the dirty bas**rd of the coach driver had a brass sat on the front seat ,seems he was sawing said brass in half when plod found him parked up.This is no way to run a official supporters coach might I add ,driver should at least have offered the brass around
Premo used to sup with us in the Winning Post and would run buses to games ever so often (usually at a loss to himself). I remember going in the back of a Luton van from the Winner to Cambridge and Burnley for Tuesday night games in the 80's. The Burnley game was the 1st time I can recall seeing a DDR calling card. Some of the lads in the van had them. If I remember correctly The Vicar was the driver of the van to Cambridge.Last I heard was he had a bad fall down some steps while working for Bradford Park Avenue and due to complicatuions with the op to put it right, ended up disabled and in a nursing home in Edlo.
Oslo it was the 30 + year ago gameWe went on service train on back on a mail train

If you mean the blind man who by his appearance has been blind from birth, then I am sure he still goes, with a helper, and uses the west stand.I first remember him in around 1982 at an away FA Cup early round at Chester's old ground. We had just lost 3-1 and he was in the midst of the throng on the terraces shouting thr "beer beer we want more beer" chant...
Chainy, think his first name was Raymond
I remember Winston and someone called Vic didnt know his surname,always on Tracky coaches.
