" 'Allo 'allo we are the Maybloom boys"

Henry Irving

From a 1940s cartoon



Any one know any more about this obviously well known group of fans, presumably from the Maybloom Working Men's Club in Abbey Wood

From the 1947 cup semi- final v Newcastle.

The Charlton side had food poisoning but won 4 - 0.

Newcastle players were in dispute with their board over bonuses.

The Maybloom Boys look like a right bunch of 'ooligans.
Rapscallions to a man, no doubt. Ruffians and n'e'r do wells.

And nicking a boat, too?

Maybloom is the traditional term for the Hawthorn, so maybe some West Brom crew involved?

Pop in and say you live locally and would like to join. They will most likely say "we'll sign you in" tonight, have a drink, see what you think"

Walked past the maybloom, this morning and saw the signs about the social club.

Seen a post on Facebook saying bailiffs in this morning and club has closed.

Been in there a couple of times when my fil & his brother were alive. Seems its demise has followed theirs.
