First memories playing footie over Prebend Gardens near Stamford Brook (known locally as dogs park, poo bags weren't around in 1968) with my 2 older brothers, a big fella called Nick Piggot and a certain Rashid Harkouk who lived in the posh houses towards Turnham Green. I was 7 or 8, instructions to goal hang and knock it in when the keeper spilled it. I wasn't popular.
First game, Plymouth Argyle, 30th Dec 1967, we won 4-1, they wore green shirts with a sort of white and black hoop around the middle.
Under the floodlights it all looked fantastic, and I was hooked.
Anyone else remember there was a bench by the touchline where the Ellerslie stand finished short of the school end where they'd stick young kids? I was lucky to be plonked over on it once or twice that promotion season. Magical. |

There's the Spotlight bar under the Charles Cryer theatre in Carshalton High St, does Wimbledon lager and other beers different from the norm in the other boozers.around.
And the Dukes Head just up the road at Wallington Green, ok but a bit pricey. |

Saw it today, couldn't agree more. [Post edited 20 Jun 2025 23:22]
