I bet you miss a good pint of Peddy over there?! ;-) I doubt Clamp would have appreciated a Mexican bottled beer with a slice of lime shoved down the neck. I think you had trouble with it too. ;-) Re Eddie Clamp - well didn’t Waddo have someone to administer a nip of whiskey / brandy to all the players as they left the changing room and headed for the tunnel pre-match?

Shades of Alf Tupper in there as well. "a hero who rolled up to the ground 15 minutes prior to kick off, nourished by a pre-match meal of pub pie and chips washed down with three pints of Marston’s Pedigree, before belting home a couple of wonder goals to help his team to victory. Frankly they’d have loved it. No doubt Parkin’s behaviour was never that unprofessional" I believe Eddie Clamp's pre-match preparation in the 1960s involved two pints of Pedigree in the Victoria Hotel, across from the ground. Of course, that may be apochryphal. Enjoyed the Melchester Rovers parody. Shades of Alf Tupper in there as well.
