Iggy Doonican 4,186 Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Dale Jasper who played for us in the 80's died yesterday aged 56 only a couple of years older than me. It has to be said he's mainly remembered for giving away two penalties against Sunderland in the league cup semi final in 1985. He replaced Joe McLaughlin who got injured that night and big Joe and Colin Pates were such a good partnership it would have been hard to just slot in especially in such a big game . The second leg was pure mayhem and was probably the most violent night I've ever witnessed at the Bridge. RIP Dale. https://www.chelseafc.com/en/news/2020/01/31/dale-jasper-1964-2020 Fulham Broadway and Vesper 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was reading the plays of the Russian literary giant Anton Chekhov one day and Dale, much to my surprise, said he knew Chekhov’s work well. He then said he was surprised that I was a Star Trek fan. Wrong Chekhov, but we had a great chat about Captain Kirk, Mr Spock, Sulu and Chekhov all the same. lol RIP sounds like he was a good bloke Unionjack and Iggy Doonican 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was in the States when he noticed his friend's reg plate spelt B O L O X 356 so he started laughing. His friend asked what he was laughing at so he told her and rather than tell her it was a swear word he told her it was English slang for zits. A couple of years later the friend was in the UK on holiday and when she met up with JC she started calling him a limey bastard and how could you do this to me ?. He said woah slow down what have I done ? She said '' I've just been in Boots the chemist with my teenage son and in front of a big queue I pointed at his face and said to the assistant have you got anything for the bollocks on my son's face '' Vesper and Fulham Broadway 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the positive, met an English bloke in an 'Irish' pub tonight who reckons there was a bloke DJing in Playa Ingles who was a naturalised Brit originally from the US.

Iggy Doonican 4,186 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 I must admit I started using the term septic tank after watching this. All sketch shows date and the Fast Show has but all Simon Day's characters haven't he had the best ones Dave Angel, Competitive Dad, John Actor and Billy Bleach.

NikkiCFC 8,363 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Not sure why many think Crespo was flop here? He was very good with some great goals. In the PL he had 20 goals in just 2817 minutes which is like 31 games. Scoring every 140 minutes. Better stats than Diego Costa who in the PL scored on every 145. Underrated.
