Seeing Gloobs dressed as a French Maid prior to Peterborough away, (last match of the season away 84 85) will remain in my memory for ever!

RIP Chris, you can join the Spireites in Heaven group,just not as a French Maid!!!

That's the one Andy.

He even wore in the hospital when he was on dialysis.

Chris was a lovely guy, I remember in our teens early 20s he was a spurs fan, chatted with him at tiown matches on many occasions he had blue blood. RIP Gloobs

My abiding memory of Gloobs will be seeing 'that' hat slowly making it's way through a crowded Rutland and only realising who was under it when he emerged onto the higher level.

But don't let being a character take away from Gloobs' intelligence, always terrific company with well considered opinions.

Another of the good 'uns taken far too soon.

Always loved the "I could have put that in with me k..." quote....and the time he went for a number two against Leyton Orientl behind the kop at 1-1 around 2001, by the time he got back we were winning 4-1 and he'd only been gone about 5 minutes

[Waller is my hero]

Great bloke RIP 😞
