It was satire. They were all lefties. But yep, the silly old moo comments would not go down too well.
Boycott never realised it was satire and modelled himself on Alf.

All that crap about West Ham playing 'a bluddy darkie!' (Clyde Best) wouldn't fly too far either....
Checked Wiki to find out if Warren Mitchell really was a West Ham supporter (he wasn't - Spurs), and found this interesting detail:
"While the series aimed to satirise racism, it actually also gained the support of many bigoted racists who perceived Alf as "the voice of reason".[9]"

That's always been the claim, but Speight was a big mate of Milligan's and he was guilty of some bizarre stuff. But let's give the, the benefit of the doubt.

It wasn't always overwhelmingly funny, but it wasn't ever malicious either.

Wonderful family the Lucans. Couldn't do a murder right, couldn't organise a cavalry charge.
