Not sure about goosebumps but I've all of a sudden got a weird craving for a pint of Carling at the Olive Branch....

My overriding memory of the Olive Branch is a barman with unquestionably the foulest breath Ive ever encountered, it was bin lorry, dog shit and years of rancid decay all in one warm fruity hit (i did only get served drinks, there was no 'sexual contact' (c) J Kyle).

When you consider that I'm a man raised in south Essex who's early experience of the fairer sex and their mouths was almost exclusively with ladies whom have had fast food, cheap wine, benson and hedges and god know what else recently in their gobs the fact that the barman in the OB's breath is the sandout is some acheivement for the lad.

Is this a bit off topic?

That's fair enough, I don't do the same thing as this chap either but I kinda wish I did have that as an option. I also liked the bit at the end where he talks about doing the same walk to the stadium as before but now it'll be very different - that got me thinking about walking down Seven Sisters road and seeing the new stadium emerge in a similar but ultimately different way than WHL did and that made my hairs stand on end a bit.

For the record I also though he referred to himself as Cave and I'm sure there's a lad who sometimes appears on the Fighting Cock pod called Cave. I could be wrong though.
I thought he said his name was Cave. I’ll have to look into it!

You never forget your first time. I framed my memory and it hangs at home.

View attachment 37826

When I had a season ticket many years ago, there was a guy behind me who shouted “Man’s game, Ref! Man’s gaaaame!” every single time we fouled the opposition.

He also shouted “Postiga, you’re useless. USELESS!” and a favourite of mine... “Oh Doherty, go back to sleep you dozy twat!”.

Not sure I’d get any of those in a frame, but that guy always will remind me of a truly awful - yet highly amusing - season of football.

He probably posts here.

First time I was at the Lane we headed straight for the Toilets cos we were after having a good few pints, I turned to the Lad beside we who was there many times before and said, I can't believe I'm pissing in White Hart Lane, he reminds me of it to this day.
