And when Billy Bly had the newsagents/sweetshop near BP supply an endless stream of chewing gum.
Seeing Johnny Stephens getting booked for pleading with the referee to let them continue playing when the floodlights above the East Stand failed in a match against Port Vale... Johnny said he could see better without them shining in his eyes.
Hearing about the look on Jock Davidson's face when Cliff Britton (a teetotaller) poured Johnnie Walker Black Labels down the boots of the players one freezing day to help warm their feet at half-time.

Hitting golf balls (with then coach Gus McLean) the length of BP until we were stopped when Gus was carrying Bunkers Hill and smashing too many windows in the houses behind.
