Yes, I was there and saw him. He doesn't look quite the Roller now though, Lol. Funny enough, Carl was more Sutton Arms than Leigh after the age of about 17. Then in his last few years, he was always in Leigh and the Leigh pubs.Last time i saw Chris was at Carl's funeral, along with many old faces, Jay Martin etc etc.
Carl was living back in Leigh i est for his last 20 years, but as you rightly state became more of a Southender than a Leighite in earlier years, before moving to Exeter for a time.Yes, I was there and saw him.

Carl always said that marriage was a curse, as almost all those Sutton Arms lot that went all that way to Exeter for it, have all sadly passed. Chis Axe, Podge, Liquid Ray, Peter Night, and a couple of others. The only one left I can think of is Graham S. I know the stag night got crazy, as you can imagine with that lot. I think they all got arrested after trouble with the locals. I will ask Graham next time I see him.Carl was living back in Leigh i est for his last 20 years, but as you rightly state became more of a Southender than a Leighite in earlier years, before moving to Exeter for a time.

Sure wasWas that Northampton away? If so I watched that game through a haze of alcohol good days.

How many chicken McNuggets had Clive (it was Clive right?) the coach driver had already that morning?Trip down memory lane. On the pitch at Newcastle early on a Saturday morning back in the day of Southend Supporter's matches. Overnight trip, went to see St James Park and ground staff let us walk out on the pitch and look around. Great bunch of lads and we put a load of miles on the clock during the late 80's early 90's great times.
I think he had done XXL jumbo all day breakfast at a truckers stop, with extra bubble and chips, he was dieting at the time so avoided the fried slice ! I kid you not.How many chicken McNuggets had Clive (it was Clive right?) the coach driver had already that morning?
My best mate Gus (sadly RIP). Really surprised he is upright! Brings back great memories before that of the PAK. No one could afford a camera on those coach trips-probably just as well!View attachment 29362
