Football Teams/Players Referred to in OFAH

Post by WestHamLyallStyle »

If you remember the quote, so much the better.

Boycie : - " What abut the time I wanted to impress a client who was coming over from Belgium with tickets for Wimbledon ? "
Del Boy : - " Well, I got you two tickets didn't I ? "
Boycie : - " Yes, they drew 0-0 with Ipswich. "

How many other clubs/players can you remember ?

Apres moi, le deluge. Mange tout.

Think they were Chelsea

Del:

I’ve heard your line of patter my son. If they don’t know Adam Ant’s birthday or the Chelsea result it’s goodnight Vienna, innit?


This one from when they are in the fall out shelter talking about the effects of nuclear war cracks me up.:

Rodney: "The place will be a smashed up and knuckle dragging mutants will be roaming the earth!"

Del: Sounds like Stamford Bridge after a bad result."

Wasn't there a Crystal Palace scarf in the flat too? where they hung the coats up?

Also Rodneys Middle Name was Charlton - after Charlton Athletic - Mum was a fan and their old man (Reg) was Millwall

Doesn't Rodney take Lady Victoria to Stamford Bridge as well?

Talking of the Lady Victoria episode.

The posh geezer talking of " Dixon of Chelsea. He's good in the air." Del Boy's retort " So is Biggles. "

Hurt or winded like a John Barnes free kick/shot - I could be very wrong on this one!

The Grandad quote on Millwall, was it not knocking his dad's clairvoyance skill set??

I was about to mention that Clacton.

I feel like I've been hit by a John Barnes free kick.

I’m sure there was QPR Rule OK sprayed on the wall next to the lift outside their flat front door… early episode around the time of the infamous Crystal Palace scarf… Rodney was a Chelsea fan for sure … I remember del saying he knew the gateman at Chelsea but he can’t get him a game, how they should never have sold greavesie and he was hoping millwall would win the uefa cup 🤣 so less clear what his first love was
