Was Don Arnold's right hand man for a while, did his time on the cowshed gantry, wasn't he up there when somebody nicked the ladder?

I was at Home Park when the Argyle fans trapped Gary Newbon on top of their gantry..oh for a return to the hilarious 1970s. He went on to have a reasonable career as the touchline pundit for ITV.

Copied from my post in 2015. :x

I always thought it was Chris Fear who was on the TV gantry when the ladder was taken away ??.

Though it was a long time ago & could have happened more than once :D..

You're probably right, I just wanted to bring the incident up again!

I think Chris Frear was at the City, Newbon was at Argyle.
