...or just stuff that stuck in your head. I've got two that always come to mind.
a/ As a youngster coming back from Millwall '73, we pulled into Wapping Station to see painted on a wall, a pair of legs (from the knees down), crossed in the manner of 'irons', jeans cut short with big DM's and the words, West Ham Welcoming Committee scrolled around 'em. Made a lasting impression on an already anxious away fan.
b/ Walking into Moss Side heading for Maine Rd, forearm with a needle sticking out of it drawn on a bridge - written over the top, Heroin, it's what your left arms for. (take on a popular beer commercial at the time). [Post edited 27 May 23:05]

Back in the '70's (I might have the wrong decade!) at Colcheter train station - "Harwich for the Continent, Frinton for the incontinent"!
Just a slogan that has stayed with me! | | | |

On the viaduct heading towards J17 on the M25 clockwise ‘GIVE PEAS A CHANCE’. Was there for many many years until that wànkstain Helch destroyed it. Remember at the time there was many a protest that the original graffiti had been graffitied over. | |

In the 70s we were at home to Spurs one Saturday.. About that time there were various organisations like Rock Against Racism being formed.
I went into the bogs in the Builders in Hammersmith post-match and a Spurs fan had written Spurs Against The Nazis on the wall.
Next day I went in again and someone had written underneath Spurs 2 The Nazis 0. |  | | |

Apparently in Livepool outside a church in the 60s, a big sign saying Jesus Saves, after which was written 'and St John scores from the rebound'. | | | |

There used to be writing on a wall on the approach to Hillingdon on the M40 i think. I can’t remember what it said. Also I always used to look out for the Graffiti on the eastbound central line in between East Acton and White City. On the way to the football. |  | | |

Reminds me of airline poster on a wall in Liverpool, the year the Mickey Mousers got off to that awful start...
Had an image of a plane with the words 'above us only sky'
Scrawled underneath, 'below us only QPR and Reading'. | |

The M Khan one was featured on The Mary Whitehouse Experience several times, including in those stupid professor name calling sketches "see that M Khan, that's you that is". [Post edited 28 May 9:10]

Seen written in small letters on the recently-painted white wall of a working men's club near Mattersey: 'I need a damn shag, now'.
How desperate do you have to be to advertise your sexual availability in a grammatically correct format on the wall of a small WMC? More to the point, was this an offer, a plea for help or simply a statement of fact? In which case were there other examples of the oeuvre stating the desire for toast or the need for a dump scattered around the town? Nearly 30 yrs later and this graffiti still boggles my mind. I mean, did they ever get the shag? And was it down to the graffiti? |  |
| 'What do we want? We don't know! When do we want it? Now!' |

In the Royal Oak in Harrow back in the day there was a tit for tat Rangers v Celtic graffiti thing going on in the toilets. Started off with "Glasgow Rangers, the team" to which someone added "of c**ts" and on it went from there. Was quite amusing.
Also seen in a pub, "if you can p1ss this high you should be in the fire brigade". [Post edited 28 May 9:11]
