Yes - included brief details and a cutting in that on Frank Newton and the bananas. CheersSorry Don for jumping off topic but have to correct this (and it bumps your thread up ;)
Frank Newton did indeed take the first banana to a game and he (at the time) lived in Cleckheaton outside Bradford, West Yorks (but has since lived in Worsley since around 1989).

A an aside, I remember being on the open terrace at Chesterfield in 1998 when the song was just starting to be adopted by blues. The lads behind me were singing "We're in Milan watching City in the Champions League" instead of "Just Like The Fans of The Invisible Man".
My memory for these things used to be extremely reliable but is becoming less so with time. However, I do recall the 'Champions League' one. I'm also fairly sure it was preceded as we battled to avoid what then seemed an almost unthinkable relegation from Division One (as was) by another version where "Just like the fans of the invisible man" was replaced by "It's just a dream, we'll wake up in the Premier League".
No problem any chance of putting the link to the Evening News ArticleSorry Don for jumping off topic but have to correct this (and it bumps your thread up ;)

If you get told a lie enough times you end up believing it. check the videio clip it was Jan 27th 1991a week after our mate died thus the reference to if You Drink You Will DieMillwall away. Blues banned and those who took a chance in the home stand “weren’t really there” was what I was told a few times.
Never listen to blokes in pubs. They chat crap.
If You Dont Drink You Will Die.
years before Millwall and the other myths .It was a pub song that was around Prestwich for years before the Prestwich & Whitefield branch sang it on the Ireland trip .absolutley nothing to do with football.
