Another one we asked was ‘What song should the team run out to?’ One disgruntled player responded, ‘Talking Heads – Road To Nowhere’.

Punching well above their football weight I’d say

True that

In the 1990s I used to interview Chelsea players for a programme column called ‘On The Ball’. Here are the original questions we thought up. ‘COMA’ was ‘What would wake you from a coma?’ One player replied ‘REDACTED PLAYER’s breath.’

£20 a pop. Three pints.

I was a gap-year library clerk in 1979. Every week a retired academic who resembled Rasputin galloped up to our newspaper section, opened up a tabloid, parted his long overcoat split for purpose and dropped a no.2. It was always on the Daily Mail.

One of the other items I unearthed while tidying was a ‘Chelsea Polska’ badge – inevitably given to me by my great pal Adam ‘Valky’ Valczak who I am devastated to learn has died suddenly. I’ll really miss his dry wit and unique insights. Condolences to the family he adored.

Not looking too bad for 14-year-old sweets.

Rare to see two economy-wreckers in the same room.

Cranky old weirdo

Another badge

‘I’ll so offend to make offence a skill. Redeeming time when men think least I will.’ My life maxim. Apparently still in the offending stage though. ☺️

Chelsea fan too, Leonard 😎

Wonderful result. Roseniority going well.

Insist on a sample taste before ordering each time. Quids in!

Totally abhorrent.

My uncle said a favourite technique was to tie rope round the end of a bomb, throw the rope through a blown-out window, haul on the rope and then let go 😳

They would have liked to talk to my grandfather. He was an air raid warden and once was inspecting a house that had been hit, the floor gave way, and he landed straight on top of a huge unexploded bomb like he was in Dr. Strangelove.

Christ

Totally agree. We just lacked the finishing touch of magic

Needn’t have bothered – my dad and his brother used to search for unexploded bombs and try to set them off 😟

They may think it’s billionaires’ chess but it’s actually Hungry Hippos for arseholes.

It wasn’t something I kept tabs on tbh

Funnily enough Paul was my neighbour until quite recently. Lovely fellow.

I repeat.

Liam Rosenior. Better subs than Subway.

A while ago I was working towards a docu on the Rydim Twins that didn’t happen because of Robbie’s illness. However I chatted at length with Sly about drumming and he explained the dynamic new drumscape he created for Uhuru and extended into dancehall was sparked by hearing … M’s Pop Muzik.

The best part was the ice cream.
