One of the biggest regrets of my life is that I could have attended(and didn't) the funeral of Harry Cripps around 13/14 years ago)..Shameful as I couldn't be assed as it was raining and I've felt guilty at not saying a massive "Thanks" to the Man who spilt blood for Millwall and personified the true Millwall spirit....

He was at the heart of the defence who were part of the Unbeated League Record Home run at The Fortressthat was The OLD Den that lasted 59 matches over 3 seasons(1964-66).

I was "Harry Cripps" on the Worldwide Betfair Sports Site in his honour.


His Testimonial?...I went but missed the "murders" that took place all over South-East London and in the ground that night when some Hammers Fans went into The Cold Blow Lane Home End at it truly "kicked off!"....

    • I don't want to name a shop, but I have twice at this busy time of year had an issue, and yesterday was overcharged when buying a number of small things. If you are using a shop which doesn't give an itemised receipt, or doesn't give a receipt at all, just be aware that it might be a good idea to check that you are not paying over the odds (and if using cash, that you are given the right change for what you handed over). When staff are busy they might make mistakes.
    • As I had a moan on here about the truly abysmal Christmas meal we had at The Cherry Tree last year, I am redressing the balance by saying we had a really excellent Christmas meal at Franklins last night. Every course was absolutely delicious and  really well cooked. The staff were lovely despite being exhausted and run off their feet. In particular, my sea bass was a large portion and cooked to perfection, in stark contrast to the small dried up portion The Cherry Tree provided, from which I was barely able to scrape a teaspoonful of flesh (that is not an exaggeration). And our Franklins meal cost less than half what we paid at The Cherry Tree (to be fair, that was on Christmas Day so the Cherry Tree costs would have been higher, but that doesn't excuse the appalling quality meal). Thank you again to Franklins for restoring our faith in eating out at Christmas!
