17. Upper Findus sh*thole 'toilets.'










'I walked in the dressing room. The window was open and I thought that a sea fret had got in. Then I saw smoke billowing from a pipe in the corner of the room...it was my centre-forward. He looked seven stone wet through. He went on to score thirty-odd goals that season.' Lawrie McMenemy on encountering the legend that was Matt Tees.

Quoted from diehardmariner
Footballing Fortune.

In my opinion the single biggest obstacle to our progress in the last 20 years.  An obsession that success would be fortunate and that our progression would only come on the back of a cup run or the shock emergence of a teenage megastar we would sell for billions.

It blindsided any hope of actual progression or vision on and off the pitch.  

Michael Jolley will ultimately go down as a footnote as the Fenty era, but appears to have been spot on in his assessment of the club and where it was going wrong.  Don't get me wrong, his football was turgid and he clearly upset far too many people.  But I wonder how much of his departure was down to results and performances as opposed to him bringing home some truths.


Agree. There was a strange mixture of miserly penny-pinching, and hopeless optimism that something would turn up. Same attitude applied to the stadium- no money spent on the old whilst pursuing a new stadium with no demonstrable funding.

Scrooge plus Micawber.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.
