Page "Eric Morecambe" Paragraph 33
from
Wikipedia
He was also an enthusiastic football fan and a director of Luton Town, Luton being only a few miles from his home in Harpenden.
Shortly after becoming a director of Luton, Morecambe briefly grew a rather sparse moustache of only about two dozen hairs, which he explained to his fans was " a football moustache: eleven a side !".
He would often fondly tell the story of how once, when the team was 2-0 down at half time, the Luton fans chanted, " What do you think of it so far?
" to which Eric replied, " Rubbish ".
He also had a love of Long John Silver impressions, which never left him through his life ( one can be seen in the ' Monty on the Bonty ' sketch with Arthur Lowe ).
