Watched this last night. Found parts very interesting. Mainly the Gibson, Scales and Phelan contributions. Lawrie Sanchez came across as a very intelligent, decent bloke. Fashanu came to 'The Crazy Gang' from Millwall - that says it all!
Speaking on BBC One, Beasant said: ‘There’s been a lot said about the Crazy gang of late and lot of what has been said was self-promotion of certain individuals.
‘A major factor in a recent documentary has been John Fashanu and he’s brought to light an incident with Lawrie Sanchez which actually happened two years after the FA Cup final so for him to bring that in and make such a part of it and say that they didn’t like each other in the cup final – Fash goes over and gives him a kiss and that was before kissing had started.
‘They fell out later. For him to bring that into the documentary I feel was a wrong decision.’
Terry Gibson wrote on his blog: 'Do people really believe that John Fashanu controlled and dominated our dressing room, ruling by fear of him?
'Does anybody really believe him when he said he locked people in a boot of a car, that he would tell someone they wouldn’t be allowed to eat for 2 days and that someone was going to be watching over them 24/7 so that they couldn’t?
'The bloke is deluded. In truth WE tolerated him and laughed at him, he really was and still is a clown.'
Enough said. Move on.
This is an important point actually and given his liking for fanciful self promotion I'm surprised Fash hasn't made more of the fact he also invented kissing.
Younger Lifers probably won't remember but before that cup final if you wanted to show affection to someone you used to have rub you forehead against their chin. Forching we used to call it, as in "Come here and give us a forch ya big softy!". It was more hygienic but it could be a bit clumsy and if you were dating someone with a pointy chin you risked serious eye injuries.
Terry Gibson was on Talksport today and repeated that fashanu made things up and was full of shite, even the presenters laughed at fashanus self promotion.
