Fake news

Apparently, some bloke called Cascarino scored a hat trick for us way back in the day.

I'm calling BS, never happened

In normal circumstances Nobby, I’d believe every word uttered by Sir Keith.

But this time? What an outrageous claim he’s making there. Fantasy land.

 

[Gilles Lingam]

even Tommy Cooper never pulled off a hat trick ...

That freeze frame of Sir Keith is great! He's got a childlike look of glee and joy, with his little smile emerging from underneath that impressive tash!

Loved seeing the 'bog' rolls being thrown onto the pitch from the Rainham end. Something you never see now, especially during this covid 19 pandemic

We always took bog rolls to games back in the day. What didn't get thrown out of the train window over Luton Arches was saved in case we scored!

What started that? It was a massive thing back in the 70s and early 80s wasn't it?
Looking back it was a bit of an odd thing to do.......but then weren't most things we did back then?

Celery was even more odd !

Haha, yes. I'd almost forgotten. Bit random when you consider all of the vegetable/salad products available

Like that other daft "fake report" of a Gills player scoring a hat trick of penalties!

Talking of objects thrown onto the pitch wasn't a (decommissioned) hand grenade thrown into our goal at Millwall back in the day?

I've never heard anything so outrageous.......interesting story about a hand grenade though

No, hand grenade was thrown onto the pitch at Brentford from the Millwall end.

 

[madrid_gill]

Andy Steggall. They don't make sports reporters like that any more.

Thank for that

Your're right now I come to think of it. Wasn't Chic Brodie in goal for Brentford at the time? He was another character.

 

[RotherhitheGill]

Sorry, don't know. I was not at the match However "“The dead shell of a hand-grenade was thrown onto the pitch behind the goalmouth at Griffin Park on Saturday (6 November 1965)during Brentford’s game against Millwall. Bees goalie Chic Brodie picked up the grenade from the pitch and threw it into the back of the net".
