Players fighting.

Palace Brighton, when Henry Hughton broke Gerry Ryans leg was on a bleak Tuesday night if I remember right, that was sickening because it was a small mid 80’s crowd and you heard the crack and his screams echoing round the ground……I can’t remember if there was a brawl after it or not though
Oh yeah, i had forgotten that, yes it was awful, you could also hear Johny Saladbowls ligament snapping on a very frosty evening game.
 
Also Denis Wise and Andy Gray sending off, apparently Gray has trying to get to Wise to finish him off. in the changing rooms
 
Remember a Tuesday night away game at Wimbledon, Pardew and Dennis Wise chasing a loose ball, Wise did something, Pards didn’t like it and swung a right hook in Wise’s smug little face. Both got sent off. Pards went up a notch in my little world with that. I couldn’t stand that little sh*te DW

Wise - the ultimate case of Napoleon syndrome. I remember him being in the bar of the players lounge after a midweek game when it was torrential rain and I’m sure the ball got stuck in the goalmouth mud and stopped Chelsea scoring, but I could be mistaken. In those days every game involved multiple pints !
 
Chelsea at home in the league cup , we had Chris Colman playing center forward ?

All I recall was torrential rain and I’m sure the ball stuck in the mud to stop a goal for Chelsea. Andy Townsend?
Coleman may well have been playing CF
Didn’t George Ndah score and I think it just about rolled over the line in the mud? we were so packed in the Whitehorse that night(before seats) we were soaked top half but our bottoms halves were dry 🤣
 
So Instead of getting my mum to do my sewing back then, I should’ve asked Dennis Wise?
I can imagine the crazy gang reaking havoc, setting fire to stuff and Dennis Wise sitting there sewing a hole in his pants
He would only thread it. You'd need Fashanu or Ray Harford for the actual sewing.
 
True story - Once saw him just outside Millwall's training ground in Shortlands/Downham, when with a mate and his older sister, who was about 15 and had her photo taken with him.

He stood on something, to appear taller than her, and proceeded to check the photo after.

Again, very true story.
I wondered why he always used to.carry an empty milk crate around with him🤣
