Looking for something last night i found the 2001 Legends Calanader. December had the picture of the clearance of rubbish at The valley by the fans. Which has been discussed before on here.However this is the script under the photo.

" The club we know and love today would undoubtedly be dead if it werent for you. Everyone knows the story of how a few thousand commited people took on the then Board of Directors and the local council and rufused to let our club die.We are where we are today in the Prem League is a testament to you all.
The photogragh above taken that wet Sunday in April 1989 when we finaly did return home tells a thousand stories. How proud Jimmy and Sam,Stuart and Johny and all those other heroes of yesteryear would have been"

Enough said.

    I remember it well, got a photo of me and some pals on the pitch, sadly a couple of them now no longer with us, I'm in shirt & tie as I had just come from a christening in Greenwich and still got stuck in dragging weeds & bushes out of the ground.
    Remember having a few beers with Steve Sutherland in the old Valley club afterwards.
