Max Bygraves...F.Troop!

He used to live a few doors along from my dear old ma in Paradise St, Bermondsey. Apparently he was much loved by the local kids as he used to give them sweets, not outside the skoolgates I should add. He also had six kids himself and, presumably, no radio or TV. Hardly your average Millwall neanderthal.
You could say he had the Max Factor (cue groans)

I've just read Mr Bygraves bio. Interesting enough, but the kids bit caught my attention.
Married to Gladys 'Blossom' Murray in 1942, Max does indeed have six children...
Christine b 1943...with Blossom
John b 1946...with Margaret Garriock
Anthony b 1947...with Blossom
Maxine b 1951...with Blossom
Beverly b 1954...with June Mack
Stephen b 1961...with Pat Marlowe
This leads me to believe that Mr Bygraves handed out sweets to the local urchins as half of them were probably his own and...as I join the dots, I must enquire as to who was your father?
I'll tell you a storeeeeey

I was created in a petridish by a mad scientist in a stormswept castle.
I work as a cabbie in that very area so tonight I asked my punters if they knew Millwall's most famous fan. The only ones who knew him were all older than him. I despair of the younger generation in SE16. Bermondsey's fountain of knowledge would appear to have dried up into a muddy puddle. Either that or it's primordial ooze, which would explain their parentage.
Charlton's fan list astounded me tho', Bjorn Borg! Given how well they're doing this term, it seems resistence really is futile.

If it's the same Gary Lammin who has a little brother called Michael, he's actually a Charlton boy.
Besides anyone with the talent to have been involved with Joe Strummer couldn't possibly have germinated from the seventh layer of hell. The opposable thumbs are a dead giveaway for a start.
