1962/3 season - yes I’m that old!

Thanks for your reply. Yes I’m fairly stable at present. The EU recognise the reciprocal health agreements between countries. It was the first question I was asked when admitted therefore I was glad I applied before travelling.

I’ve read all the messages and the OP has given great advice. Back in August I flew on holiday to Tenerife. It was a stressful day getting to the airport at 3am and all the walking that’s involved. On arrival I had just cleared customs and felt a crushing pain in my chest and intense pain in...

Whilst travelling from Manchester to Portsmouth in the 70’s I got off the train at Euston and made my way to the taxi rank. I was serving in the RN at the time and had my Navy hat on the outside of my suitcase. A taxi saw me and pulled up. I said Waterloo? He replied “The station?” I quipped...

De Gea saved most of the close in shots with his legs and feet - the jammy bxxxxxd. It was his distribution that was his problem. If Tent peg thinks he has solved the “playing out from the back “ conundrum by getting rid of De Gea I think he’s in for a shock.

Mick Buckley used to occasionally play for our school team but spent most of the time away with England youth set up. Had a decent career at Everton and Later Sunderland. I understand he passed away at a fairly young age RIP

Back in the mid to late 70’s I was posted to Ilford territorial barracks to cover the Fireman’s Strike. On our days off I used to drink in the local pubs. Met many a WHU fan and they showed an interest in City and I was complimentary about them and some the players that had served each club...

I was introduced to Bill whilst attending Mauldeth Rd Primary School. His kids attended there and he was dropping them off in the morning. I’m pretty sure he lived just off Mauldeth Rd, but before Wilmslow Rd at that time. Nice man.

Back in the day I sat behind a Dad and his young daughter. He traveled from Livingston on match days both for weekend and mid week games - I admired his dedication for travelling that distance to watch the blues.
