Andorra v England | Saturday 9th October 2021

As a bit of light relief, I've got very fond memories of Andorra. I went travelling round Europe at the age of 18 in 1972. After ending up in the Bordeaux region grape picking to earn some cash to continue I hitchhiked to Spain in the October but ended up being dropped off in the mountains near Andorra after dark. It was high up in the Pyrenees and it was freezing. After a while I realised that there was no traffic and that I could freeze to death overnight so I considered starting to walk down to warmer temperatures. At that point a van came towards me and stopped to let me in. I had never felt so relieved.

The guy driving it was a carpet seller travelling back from France and he took me back to his families flat in Andorra. I stayed two nights and his family were amazing. On the day I was leaving they just said lock the door when you leave and they all went off to work and school.

Oi Dick head. You’re not allowed to post in this thread unless you are moaning your bag off about the commentary or the ref being a woman ;)

It is a sovereign state and a full member of UEFA in its own right so
Andorra has every right to play in qualification tournaments.
As for it being a waste of time and money for the players, perhaps they are proud of representing their country on the international sporting stage, no matter what the relative chances of success?

It’s an opportunity for a city player or another professional footballer to get injured needlessly though but lovely sentiment..
