“Just after the war, mum ran a boarding house for Millwall players. But I was surprised when she told me dad had a couple of first-team games for them. I said ‘what are you talking about, you tell me this now!’ I was quite chuffed, and proud.” - Gary Oldman’s Millwall roots.
@MarcoManasseh mate of mine is a journo, once told me your old man was speaking to him after Millwall’s one sided cup final defeat against Man Utd. Brian’s parting shot was ‘for gods sake don’t tell it like it was’. Made me chuckle anyway!
“I walk to my car and there's a flood of geezers running out of the ground. So I said to one 'What’s going on'. He said 'We're gonna have it with the Tottenham. You coming?' I said No, my knee's still giving me a bit of gip. You kick on!” - Steve Claridge meets the Bushwackers.
