    I thought it went down hill slightly when Private Walker died and they brought in the Welsh reporter to replace him.

    Obviously the old memory could be playing up but isn’t that what they gave out at the promotion party game against Gillingham ?

    I had one of those. And I was at the Gillingham game. So I am pretty sure that @letthegoodtimesroll is right.

    Those were the days... wandering around Eltham in my FADS replica kit. I remember the shouts of admiration to this day.

    "OI! Fads Kit..."

    The guy that played Godfrey had a very interesting and heroic war in real life.

    His biography is well worth a read.
