Almost true but not quite, Dean was a good friend of mine who's long since gone to that big football ground in the sky, God bless him.RIP
THE Chelsea fans turned up at Harrow as a group of them got a bit of a hiding when we played them at Somerton Park in a pre season friendly, they stayed on in Newport after the game & were giving it the " big un " all day, well they all walked past the Robin Hood & Conti's ( baldy from the past ) & they were still acting up, taking the p*** out of locals & Dean snapped, he was a real handy lad but also had a heart of gold, he gave a few of them a right hammering, someone must have remembered his name because they came in the Harrow clubhouse asking where he was but he wasn't there that day!!
THE rest as they say is history.
