My inlaws had their golden weddin anniversary yesterday and amongst the guest was the bloke who used to be an apprentice at Chelsea circa 1970. I mentioned him before as he was the one who told my FIL that whilst that coach who turned out to be a nonce never did anything to him it was a story amongst the kids that if you messed up you'd have to go with him into the treatment room.

Anyway, yesterday he told me that when he was 15 he got to train with the first team and the first day Ron Harris kicked him up so far into the air that planes at Heathrow had to alter their flight path, picked him up and told him, "If you can't take it son maybe you should be somewhere else", on the other hand Alan Hudson was lovely to him but also didn't help by taking him out on the piss one day and getting him so drunk he couldn't train the next day.
