Well I hope he's having a good chat with the Charlton boys,
Willie had the shop on The GreenI think you're right, I knew he had a shop at the Hill St Middlesbrough. Your right - Willie Maddren had a paper shop on Billingham Green below the Half Moon Club and then bought a sports shop on Norton Road. I was sure Billy gates bought the Billingham shop and then sold it to Intersport?
I was only 13 at the time and it was only my 2nd away trip, so I probably didn't appreciate just how good the atmosphere was. My 1st decent memory was the Leeds away game after our promotion to Division 1.The best atmosphere for a Boro away game l have been too. The away fans chanting "Come on Boro" for virtually the whole game! We deserved something out of it.
Mind you I've only been going since 1958.
