Exactly, Roger Palmer! Brilliant!
My mate Jim and his brother Steve went to White Hart lane in the late 70's and were walking to the ground, no colours and not speaking when they thought they had been sussed out as a handful of fans were following behind. Just as they turned a corner, Jim took a quick glance behind him to find Pete about 5 feet behind them looking like a walking souvenir shop!
Ha ha!I asked him years ago if he had ever had any bother being dressed like that and he said no,not even at Millwall.In some ways that kind of gave me hope as you would expect at least one knob to give him a slap,especially if we had won away....mind you we rarely did in the really bad hoolie days,lol!
I got to know him a fair bit in the 83 - 85 years as he'd be on the Special to away games. he always said he never had any bother - but was ready for it if there was! Always had steel capped boots on!
He also would have a glass whisky bottle that he would swig out of..... remember him getting a bit annoyed at Highbury when his bag was searched and they took it off him!
He lived in Accrington then.
