A weird one.....Tony Cascasino played for a local village here in NW Kent.....cost Gillingham some training gear to get his signature....just looked him up to remind myself... talk about rags to riches....moved on to Millwall, Celtic, Chelsea, Marseille among other clubs...and scored 248 goals.....you don't find players like that anymore.
I’m surprised no one has mentioned their repulsive manager yet. A most awful loud mouth who somehow, given his past, has stayed in the game
Like you IJN I had the misfortune to live in Chatham in the 70s and I can tell you that today it hasn't changed one bit. I live only 10 miles away in Gravesend and Gravesham is like heaven compared to the squalor of the Medway towns.

Was the mis-spelling of his surname a Freudian slip, given his attainment of riches? You forgot to say he was also an Irish International now making money for himself by writing topical side notes on players and games in The Times.

Stayed there on holiday a few years ago...........Dreadful, Dirty. many weird characters about &. very scary at night.
Worst place i have ever visited! :twisted:
When I started my career at sea, all British Seafarers either started at Gravesend if you were a lad or one of the officer colleges, I went to Warsash in Southampton. Once you had done your first stint at college it was out into the big world.
Had a call from my office to join a ship out in New Zealand, great news as a 16 year old apprentice. Just before flying out I had another call to say that the ship had to sail early and instead join a coaster in Rochester. For 6 months I was in and out of that awful place. I walked down the gangway after the trip had ended and swore I’d never go to the Medway again. 34 years later and not been back. Never will.

I have lived all over the world and visited some very 'modest' places, but Chatham is without doubt the most decrepit hovel I have ever set foot in.

Because as you say its in the past. He's certainly calmed down now. All clubs have had shall we say "characters " Argyle certainly no exception, I should know I met enough of them
