Use to love Big Deal. His character was a Fulham fan.

Ray had a season ticket at Withdean and used to sit behind me. Top fella, and a very friendly chap, not seen him since we left there, I assume that he has a seat at The Amex, but I know he also had one at Fulham when we were at Withdean.

I could never work out how he managed to fool Jean Hopkirk into believing he was Marty Hopkirk.
