Christian Roberts is our friend, he drinks Stella. Let him out to drink some more etc.
Last time I recall hearing Harry Roberts was that Cheltenham game under King, when Gurney got involved with the crowd.

In the days, when coppers used to form a line in the TE, and wade in when things kicked off....helmets would fly everywhere and then be bunged around like beach balls at Wycombe. A mate of my old man was a copper, who I therefore knew, he was a lovely old fella, who liked nothing better than delivering a good smacking to someone in the ruck  I once took issue with a flat cap senior officer, who responded by slapping me round the chops with his leather gloves like some sort of Gestapo officer.... |

My ex brother in law was in the force in the early 80s he too loved that sort of thing, giving a beating to unsuspecting hooligans! Until he got hit on the head on the Stratton Bank when on duty with a brick thrown by a Boremuff fan in the trouble filled match in 87 when we were 3rd and the muff top. Couldn't have happened to a nicer bloke

This has been running through my head all day. I realised what an old git that makes me when no other fucker I spoke to today knew what the hell I was going on about. Anyhone read the Jake Arnott book that nicked the name? |

I remember joining in with these, although not having any idea who he was. Back then it seemed you spent as much time in conflict with the OB as you did watching the game |

I don't remember that chant at all, I didn't even know who he was until I saw the article. To be fair though he was inside well before my first game.

Need some more old chants you don't hear any more.
How about 'We don't carry hammers'
