Sad to hear of the death of Warren Mitchell, his "Alf" will be remembered for a long time. He was in real life a spuds fan, but his character creator Johnny Speight I think was born in Canning Town, not sure if he was a Hammers fan, my Dad worked with his Dad in a company called Island Lead Mills in Limehouse, where there were many "Alf's" in residence. Interesting to note how many times our great club is used in fiction, even up to Rowling's "Harry Potter" Still the cream always rises to the top!

Thought of Alf a few months ago as the Mrs was watching 'Chicago Fire'. Anyone remember the 'home help' that Alf was given 'Marigold'? He's the chief guy running the fire station in the programme! Legend Alf Garnett RIP!
