Was Ron Knee based on Ron Noades - or the other way around? |  | | |

There used to be a team that played in the Harlesden Sunday League back in the 80's called
Bayern Neasden i played against them many times.I think they were Barry's inspiration for his pieces in Private Eye.
RIP Barry and thanks for the laughs. |  | | |

I believe it was the other way around. Neasden FC predated their cross town rivals, Bayern. | |

The goalie was "one-legged custodian Wally Foot" who usually featured in the scoresheet with o.g. after his name.
The other key player was midfield maestro "Baldy" Pevsner
Whenever Clive refers to his "two regular readers" I think of Sid and Doris Bonkers, Neasden's ultras.

So farewell then Barry Fantoni
Passed, while downing minestrone
Neasden's Kop will sadly miss
The bloke who started this baloney. | |

Ron Knee, ashen-faced, tight-lipped supremo! I always thought it was Pevsner o.g.? but I've got boxes of old private Eye mags, so perhaps I'll check.
I must get out more |  | | |

Although Pevsner will be mainly remembered for “Rural Rides”, I'll never forget the goal he scored against Perivale which was deflected in off the floodlight. | | | |

Barry also gave the world "Colemanballs". Trememdous talent. |  | | |

Think you might be right; wasn't he sometimes "own-goal specialist Baldy Pevsner"? | | | |
