What was the story behind the fat oxford boy? First bumped into him in oxford when walking along the high street and all of a sudden this ginger bloke walked across the road and said boys I'm Charlton. I'm trying to get a firm of Charlton together. He pointed to a pub and said everyone is in there. Went in and sure enough there was Charlton everywhere. Walked to the ground via the high street and the looting began. A new state of the art Sony Walkman from currys was going back to London with me. That Jason stallon was a proper tea leaf. The year after one of the twins mates lost an eye outside the culture vulture pub when a nasty firm of locals all tooled up met head on after oxford boy had arranged a meet. At the time and after I still believed he was well in with their chaps. What about blonde Danny the boxer. What happened to him ? Those were the days.

Vaguely remember a ginger haired lad from Oxford seem to remember him tagging along with us on a few occasions would of been early 80's. 

It sounds like the same bloke I bumped into in Lincoln for a pre-season friendly around ´88, he was a bit iffy.

Said this on another thread. 

Oxford as we called him got taken ill at the Coventry away game in which Gritt took over in goal.

Bit of a drama got taken around pitch and down the tunnel by St Johns medical staff.
Little while later came out of tunnel dancing and waving at away supporters.

He was also the fat guy that eat the pies at Man Utd quarter final fa cup match and was featured in many a paper.

I seem to remember him jumping off the stretcher before he went down the tunnel and ran back to the away end

Reminds me of a Friday night game coming home from Southend. Brilliant night out coming back through the city.

In the Selhurst days, our spot was the supermarket end. With Clive Steel and his dad, my dad, Don Moore plus Mike and his brother.

I saw Keith Giles mentioned on an earlier post.

I think I mentioned on here before, but he was my first ever football coach. Villacourt Rovers U8's - we trained at De Lucy primary school in Abbey Wood. 

I saw him a few years later in action against Southampton at London Bridge. 

Keithy Giles was a football coach ?  Hard to believe

Last time we see Keith he was a steward at Derby County. The 2-2 draw in premiership.

not terrace, but onliner .. where is @ricky_otto ??

My favourite story regarding Keith Gills was Cambridge away  back in the 70s. 
Keith, my brother and me missed our train from London  and arrived at Cambridge at about ten past three. 
When we got to the ground old bill took Keith's steel toecapped boots from him.
He was only short to start with and that made him look even shorter. 
Anyway we entered the home end as was the norm back then.
We were standing among the Cambridge lot and separated from Charlton fans by a row of coppers.
Keith decided next time it kicks off we will charge through to be with the Charlton lot.
So  as soon as the next scuffle started we done just that.
But Keith being Keith grabbed a Cambridge fan and dragged him through with us.
He kept him hostage for about 10 minutes or so and gave him a slap every now and again. 
Eventually I persuaded him to let the poor bloke go.
Certainly never boring when you were with Keith that's for sure.

Superdulvertonred asked about big Kev Croydon. He sadly died back in the eighties. Mog, Gary will be in the Lib Sat with me, Big Brother. I still travel home and away with quite a few mentioned on here already e.g.. Dicky Lukes, Steve and Mick Rogers from Orpington , Welchy, Bradley, Dave Greenhill, Big Kev Hopkins, Andy Wallace, Aubrey, NO mention yet of Jimmy Jarrett. Big turnout at his funeral a few years back. And more recently THE CAPTAIN. Billy Martin Still goes.Hasnt missed a home game of any sort since Dec 69. Does anyone remember Bomber. He was a steward during prem days. Back in the 60s and 70s I used to go to many away games with Kelvin Cook, Turncoat Tom the Head who became a spanner, Chrissie Barber, Graham Ellis. The last time I saw Keithy Giles was at Derby years ago, he was a steward there.

Reading this takes me back remember most of these Kev Croydon always remember his scarf was full of badges of away teams he went to kev Hopkins always there with his brother brilliant days home & away 
Can't remember what game it was but always remember Dave Jenkins with his mate holding a flag on the goal line while the game was going on I am even sure he cleared one off the line ha

Had a drink with Dave Jenkins about 6 weeks ago.
He's 70 now.
How time flies.

About 30 of us all met up for a drink in Blackheath about 6 or 7 weeks ago. 
Dave was there, 1st time I'd seen him since captains funeral. 
Several on here were there hopefully they can tell you where he now drinks.

Cheers Blackpool
