Back in the day, when players travelled on match days to grounds that were not far from home, and team coaches did not have toilets I witnessed a "tribute" to the King.
Our coach followed what turned out to be the team coach when we were on the way to Bolton ( I think) .
Our coach quickly emptied as we all dashed to the toilet, and a queue formed directly behind Jeff who was having a pee. He turned around to see a queue formed by supporters wanting to use the stall that The King had used, despite the fact that other stalls were free.

He day arf loff, great CF, bostin bloke, God bless Jeff

So glad a tribute day ended on a positive note!
Ignore the performance, I didn't want to post this before the game as based on our usual 'big game' experiences we generally fail abysmally, added to the fact we're unbeaten at home and the posh don't perform away I genuinely feared the worse! #RIP The King
