Remember a lot of the Ipswich fans stayed to applaud the presentation.
I still had a season ticket in the south stand then.
The celebrations that day were fantastic. Anyone got any pics?
He said he was banned for it so missed it all
..........
Why replica medals???
Then me with Youngy and Tiler proberly didnt help either surprised we were even let in in the end
come on spill the beans what happened??
Now GHE Courgete youve seen the size of me do you think i touch courgetes lol
certain things happened that night which resulted in a certain individual asleep in a car that was not his with a broken window and not at training the next day,
he was subsequently shite during the said match saturday it was poty within the next 2 weeks i was pisshed and kept telling said player (B4 smudge edits) that i couldnt believe he done that whilst well in ear shot of curbs who's head turned red with anger cos said player had obviously told him something else,
didnt powelly have the worst shoes in the history of bad shoes this night also
this then annoyed said player but i was pished and didnt care and then continued to annoy him until he phoned my mate and told him to ask me to stop which i then did
Not big not clever i admit but extreemly funny at the time.
The same night i believe Larry the lamb kept saying lisbie was cack and then turned round to see him behind us on the next table.
i think this was the same night when Rowett stole my coat (not Tiler my mistake) and i also found it amusing to drive him mad for nicking my coat i was very very very drunk at this stage and the poty had only started an hour b4 unfortunatly we hadnt.
I recall fat pat and spotty parker going head to head at this one because pat kept calling him spotty instead of scotty
and the very young charlton player in the loos talking to his mate about him being the ball cocks and that if curbs couldnt see it he was going to leave this 2 bob club whilst a couple of us were having a pee pee and we then informed him that he should leave cos if he was good enouff he would play and we told him merv was having a poo in the cubicle (he wasnt) and he had proberly just signed his exit papers any way and the player weed on his foot and went back to his popstar girlfriend.
Thats why we were no longer welcome at the POTY bruv i think and the day i realised that we were not little old charlton any more.
Next year will be one to remember though
One of those yellow blobs above Curb's head (row P) is me!
it wasn't exciting enough!!
