Them were the days.

I know he was famous for that mitake, personally I liked the BBC weather man who came out with "bucket full of c**ts" on air.

Chippy dinner, Dickie Davis, then down to BP if we were at home, and an afternoon of wrestling and various other sports like speedway if Town were away. I can see that mallen streak in his hair and hear his voice in my mind.

Guest User	Quoted from Les Brechin Sad to hear of the passing of Dickie Davies. A staple of my youth when growing up with World Of Sport. RIP Dickie. https://www.itv.com/news/2023-.....-davies-dies-aged-94 Well said Les. I'd be glued to World of Sport on a Saturday afternoon before I started going to away games regularly. The best memory was watching the wrestling and seeing Town's updates coming through every few minutes from the game at Wimbledon in 1980. That was the first time I saw 6 confirmed as (SIX). It was my first season as a Town fan and I was instantly hooked. First game was Town 4 Blackpool 3.

The window was open and I thought that a sea fret had got in. Then I saw smoke billowing from a pipe in the corner of the room...it was my centre-forward. He looked seven stone wet through. He went on to score thirty-odd goals that season.' Lawrie McMenemy on encountering the legend that was Matt Tees.
