4 and the centre forward thought you was fair game.
 Think it was Shankley who said "There goalkeeper expects to be hurt dont disapoint him!!!"  Cant rem who it was but he went on to become a top pro . . . when he made his debut v Liverpool Tommy Smith  Gave him a piece of paper . . . It was the menu for the local hospital Talk about get in your head |

We used to have stone fights.
Put me head up over the top one day and wham a stone got me right on the head, off to the Hospital for a few stitches. Remember going to play table tennis in Notting Hill Gate when I was about 11 I can tell you there was no million pound houses around then and you were lucky to come home alive. How London has changed. |

Our little gang would go over Fulham to watch them play.

I remember travelling by aeroplane to Spain with my parents and the air was thick with smoke everywhere ....the days of smoking on planes....in a few years we have gone from that to smoking being evil and whoever indulges in it being regarded in some quarters as almost retarded.
I remember seeing most mothers in the street, some indeed glamorous mothers , cleaning the windows and scrubbing the step every morning. My mother did the same . She then went to the local shop but would never go out unless she looked really good with fashionable high heels and a pretty frock and make up. I remember she once saw a woman eating a sausage roll in the street . She was disgusted at that as she was any woman who swore. She was of course, typical of most women then . |

First time abroad Catolica '74, after twelve days consuming strong lager we finally make it to the Be Bop A Disco !
Stevo ( room mate ) comes back from the gents mumbling ( like this when he's drunk, we can't understand him !) After going going through the gang, we ask one of the door staff to chat to him... ''Si Senore gents toilet over there!'' ''No, no''... He keeps pointing at the toilet door..... eventually the bouncer goes over and opens the door.... to be knocked over by about three hundred gallons of water ! The silly barsteward had broken the cistern ! Would of made a great 'time for a sharp exit' Harp (?) advert !  |

In Aberdeen the game where you could only score with either a header or volley was called "Annies".
no idea why. When i growing up in the 70s a packet of crisps was 2 and a half p. and your favourite sweets were sports and cola cubes. |
