*named after incident at London Bridge where he climbed on this delivery vehicle to better view (not direct) the Everton mob battling their way towards Millwall. All the hoolie cameras turned to point at Len (then in his 60s) seemingly directing the violence.

*Len "the general*" is weeks from dying but always remember him at away games with "I left in the 80s but still have my Bootle accent" saying "sit the fuck down lads".
