Yes, big Vic Rouse too. I would always stand behind Vic's goal and race to the other end at half time. Fat chance of doing that today. Edited by GranddadAl (05 Jun 2019 10.23am)

Yes moving round at half time sound ridiculous now, but that's what we did. At the back of the Whitehorse Lane terrace was an enormous canyon, a leftover from when the ground was a brick yard, and at the bottom of it was a corrugated-iron ladies lavatory. Not many women attended in those days presumably.

Edited by GranddadAl (05 Jun 2019 10.23am) "Fat chance" - Is that a reflection of your current physical condition or the fact that the AW stand now gets in the way? Rouse was also my first goalie, and I certainly used to change ends. The only problem I recall was slipping on the mud at the top of the Park Road side. And on one occasion my mother tried to pick me up after a match, came into the ground when the gates were opened just before the end, and had to navigate so many beer bottles (she said) that she gave up. Nowadays I struggle to get up the steps at the Whitehorse end after the game. By the way, isn't it strange that now, as then, we still normally kick towards the Whitehorse end in the first half?

Indeed. Just read he became wheelchair bound after a car crash at the age of 32 and died in 2015. So sad, shame Palace don't seem to care about many ex-players, the best example being Peter Simpson
