    Agreed mate, that was my first thought. You wouldn't know it looking at the pics, it all looks brand new.

    He was originally from Hunstanton in Norfolk. He was a very fit and well educated man, believing in the 'healthy body, healthy mind' philosophy. I wrote about him in the last issue of WSB. He went where the church sent him.

    Wonderful post.

    This shrine should never again be allowed to fall into neglect.

    Fancy someone attacking such a monument.

    How far away is Millwall btw?

    You and Gaz are a credit to that fanzine. Safe trip.


    Just realised he passed away on the 25th of April. We were promoted to the top flight the next day. Many years later, like. But still. Fascinating reading this thread. I love a bit of history. I love BFC. Do Father Preedy proud, Norbs. #YouReds
