Dog shit down the collars. Imagine The Bash vs the Old Trafford Pikey back in the day. He'd be picking his prawn sandwich out of his arse for weeks.

Dennis Wise was some player, imagine in this day and age if someone threw dog poo done your collar!

Is there a link online to this? I'd love to see it.

EDIT - I've found it.

Apparently it's all just bollocks. Just a repeating of myths made up by Fashanu and Vinnie Jones to make out that they were hardmen, completely glossing over the great work done by the team and management. Haven't seen it, but Terry Gibson absolutely destroyed it (he should know better than most what went on)

That needs posting.

Terry Gibson pulling no punches.

Crazy Gang Documentary
December 27, 2014

Crazy Gang Documentary.

Despite reports to the contrary last night was my first opportunity to watch the BT documentary about the Crazy Gang. It was widely reported that I attended the private screening at BT Tower earlier in the month. Like so much of this documentary that was not true.

After hearing reports from those that attended the private screening I was aware of the majority of its content but was always going to wait until I saw it for myself to make a comment.

I think what came across in general was a group of honest determined footballers who all had a common goal to succeed against all odds. I was however disappointed with the minimal editing of the man who made it all possible, Bobby Gould.

His contribution was unbelievable. He took over a difficult team at a difficult time and won the FA cup in his first season. Perhaps his contribution wasn’t controversial enough for the film makers.

Still there was plenty of controversy to keep them happy and to guide the documentary in the way they wanted and probably always intended to.

John Fashanu and Vinnie Jones unbelievably are still willing to fulfil and perpetuate the criteria of being ‘Hard men’ despite now being middle aged men!



It wouldn’t be so bad if what they were saying was true but unfortunately most of it wasn’t. The majority of their stories were embellished with falsities.

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.

The only one he controlled was his mate Jonesy. Hence why Vinnie still comes out with false stories backing his old mucker’s tales.

Nobody had their calf obliterated in a changing room fight. With blood all over the place and 30 stitches needed. It is all complete nonsense. Yes there was a stupid wrestling fight between John Fashanu and a younger player called Robbie Turner. Fash stripped down to his underpants and covered himself in baby oil in preparation for the bout. Robbie Turner stood his ground and they wrestled each other, no punches were thrown. Robbie couldn’t get a grip of Fash due to the coating of baby oil and at some stage he whacked his calf on a bench. Yes he was in agony and the fight stopped. It turned out he had done some serious damage to his calf muscle with the blow and if I remember rightly he did need surgery on it at a later stage. There was no blood and no Fash did not throw him about like a rag doll but Vinnie will never let the truth get in the way of a good story.

It was also good to see John Barnes bristle with irritation over Fashanu’s claims of the intimidation used supposedly in the Wembley tunnel before the final. The truth is there wasn’t any. That story certainly has grown some legs over the years. Similarly the tackle by Vinnie on Steve McMahon in the first minute of the game. A tackle by the way that Vinnie thinks won us the cup. The tackle was in the 8th minute not the first.

I hope however the good work and ability of so many is not overlooked with the making of this documentary. We had a great bond and work ethic that was second to none. We had some very talented footballers in that team whose talents had not been recognised at that time and disappointingly this was not the focus of last night’s documentary.

Brilliant TV. Fash the bash is a right nutter.

If by nutter you mean delusional, homophobic fantasist, then you're spot on.
Fash in the jungle on 'I'm a celeb' showed you almost everything you need to know about him.
The way he treated his brother purely because he was gay was unforgivable. What was even worse than him disowning his own brother because of his sexuality, was the interview he gave a few years ago when he said his brother wasn't really gay, just an attention seeker.
He is one seriously horrid ****.

Something tells me you dont like the fucker Stony, he nearly finished Gary Mabbutt's career with an elbow, he wasnt weak but nowhere near the hardman he thought he was. Didnt get up and batter the physical giant that was Francis Benali after this.

The Golden Age of English football. Proper dirty hard men.

I thought the Golden Age of English football was the 1970s.

There were some real hard men around then.

Mike Doyle, Mike Summerbee, Frannie Lee, Tommy Smith, Norman 'Bites Yer Legs' Hunter, Ron 'Chopper' Harris.

Fashanu and Jones wouldn't have lived with those gentlemen and their contemporaries.

Haha, that Cloughy story was great, and no, I am not a fan of Fashanu. He was a thug on the pitch and a bigger **** off it.
