The 3 of them were stood in queue for the shuttle to the fan park, he told his cousin to hold his coat while he nipped to the loo ( his coat had his phone/ticket in
He never saw them again, he thought they’d got on shuttle without him and they thought the same about him
He walked for miles back but had no idea where he was going and he was genuinely frightened which for him to admit he must’ve been really worried
I was also going up until the Thursday when I realised I just couldn’t do it with working away commitments so obviously feel it wouldn’t have happened had I been there
He said the not getting to see the game wasn’t the worst part of the night it was the being alone in middle of nowhere, not knowing how he was going to get hold of anyone or even the name of his hotel, he said apart from bereavements it was the worst day of his life.
All the family are completely gutted for him, he’s been to every Wembley visit since 1956 and he misses the European cup final like that
His mate rang me 2 minutes before KO telling me we’ve lost your dad and he’s not in the ground so I didn’t enjoy a second of the match with worry
