I remember playing a Sunday morning game somewhere in North London like Barnet or Finchley and having to bathe in a stream in a wooded area afterwards … in November.

And you try to tell that to the young people of today...

Welcome to Copthall.
I seem to remember Copthall having decent facilities like an actual sports-centre ..ie showers and running hot water. The icy stream in the woods was somewhere more obscure like the arse-end of Arnos Grove. Tis a distant memory.

Not hear, but see, but bring back launching toilet rolls from behind the ground onto the pitch.
It was environmentally friendly too, beats all this silly pyro stuff!
That's one use for budget bog roll as for its primary usage - its not fit for pirpose, as i found out to my cost, when i first attempted Independence, moving out of the family home.
But, at least I didn't grow up in my mates childhood home. They weren't on the poverty line at all, but no one was allowed to use more than one sheet of roll at a time and very often his dad would remaster a new bog seat out of wood, despite not being that handy with a chisel and hammer and his dovetail joints leaving a lot to be desired and a rather sore splinter to the backside !!

Happy days !!!!
Reminds me of an interview with Paddy Ashdown, the former Lib Dem leader, a few years ago. Reminiscing about his SAS days, he said the soldiers would only be issued with three sheets of bog paper for each mission: “One up, one down and one to polish”.

This isn't something you hear within the ground itself but when you back home - some of the dulcet tones of commentators long since gone.
John Motson, Barry Davies, Tony Gubba, David Coleman and Brian Moore.
And with presenters such as Des Lynam with El Tel, Bob Wilson, Saint and Greavesie, Jimmy Hill, even Frank Boughy Bough - you naughty man - at a push !!
There are so many now, its actually a profession that youngsters such as Tyler, our own QPR plus man himself, can actually make a living out of now.
What with the prevalence of youtube, podcasts and amateurs doing watchalongs, there are now way too many options....
I can't stand seeing the likes of Carragher on screen, such a blown up man of importance.
Bring back the few - quality over quantity - those days are sadly gone....

I found myself standing next to Tony Gubba in a public urinal once.

My dad’s football club in the 50’s and 60’s sometimes had six or seven sides all playing at home on the same day. Always remember him saying, ‘God help you if you were the last team in that bath’.

I imagine that allegation came from some Neanderthal or other in the South London Nazis.
Le Saux isn't in fact gay and has spoken about the remarkable fact that he was subject to homophobic abuse on the basis that he read books and suchlike so by definition had to be queer.

I believe he even enjoys the occasional night out at the theatre too. Another sure sign.

Agree with that. Back in the day i guess a few wallies may well have alleged as a slur that Le Saux was gay but yes obviously because he was a well read man and we are not talking about his in depth knowledge of the Daily Star.
Pretty obvious he wasnt a gay man anyhow.
Anyhow, on that point, there still exists in top level football, a massive reluctance still for players to come out as gay.
I wonder when this will ever become more commonplace as it is very accepted in the rest of society and in fact all the other issues raised by all such things as pronouns etc which for me is nonsense but all that too is very open in the current generation.
There are a great deal of openly lesbian women playing football but still think in the top four leagues in England there is only one openly gay man.
I cant recall any Rangers player ever announcing this and also would not even have any idea of any player i even suspected.

I remember playing a Sunday morning game somewhere in North London like Barnet or Finchley and having to bathe in a stream in a wooded area afterwards … in November.
That's another defeat for United. But what news of the big north London derby? Stuart Hall from Underhill.
Indeed as I watch on from lofty perch, I see men frollicking through assorted local tundra toward the soothing waters of local tributaries. Led by the imperious, Daniele Paddox, soap in hand, having clutched victory from the very jaws of defeat.
For in a game that many a purist will forget, the mercurial Paddox, rose like Neptune at the back post, to nod in an 89th minute winner against a tide of Barnetian endeavour. Cue rapture, from which he will be carried forth to be placed in the pantheon of Finchleyian sporting glory, in perpetuity.
Amazingly, as if ordered by the sporting Gods, it finishes here at the Barnetium Coliseum: Barnet 0, Finchleyius Maximus, 1.
........Stuart Hall at Barnet.
What news of high flying QPR at home to Leicester? Jonathan Pearce.
