The lady game v Southampton at Maine Road.
We had 3 season tickets in the Platt Lane Stand.
Anyone else get a free Mars Bar in a small bag on entering the ground ?
After the match, our 2 lads (13 & 11) got onto the pitch and each got a bit of the turf, saving it in their Mars Bar bag.
Found them this year when moving out of our house for the last 30 odd years.
Both bloody Mars Bar bags now just had dust in them !!!

Not as bad as you drinking pints in a round, then sneeking out of the pub when it was your shout at the bar, you rum ****.

Is that a new cocktail ?

i was round a mate's house.
he was using this lovely ornate bottle opener in the shape of a fish.
he said he'd stolen it the week before while round someone's house because he liked it.
so i stole it from him. seemed like karma.

a few months later he was round my and spied it in the kitchen,
saying he'd wondered where it was and how he must've left it at mine some time.

next time i went round his i stole it again.

a few weeks later i was telling this to a different pal who was at mine.
i never saw the bottle opener again after that evening.

i have the idea that the story will be forever retold and updated
and the bottle opener will become the world's most stolen item.

We'd had a belly full and still had two carrier bags full so we sat on a hill near Stalybridge train station waiting for Leeds fans on the football special.

there's no such thing as a train station, mate.
it is a railway station.

it is called a railway station because it is a station on the railway.
a place where trains stop.

it would be impossible to have a station on a train.
(unless, of course, you were travelling on a train carrying a miniature railway station).

My greatest was a football from Vienna the day before our Final in European Cup Winners Cup. I won`t bore you all too much as a quite a few of you know, me and my mate hitchhiked it all the way there and back and we slept in the stadium for two nights.
We found out where the City team were staying way up in the mountains and got a taxi to the hotel and I asked if I could talk to Glyn Pardoe, as Glyn used to take me to some City home games when I was 13 years of age.
To cut a long story short we were invited down to the training ground by non other than Joe Mercer, so we travelled on the team bus and watched them for a good hour.
Somehow one the training balls came our way and me and my mate had a kick about. It somehow made its way back to Mid Cheshire with me and we used it virtually every Sunday afternoon on our local rec for about 4 years before it became absolutely knackered.
True story as can be confirmed by those of you who have read the book by Don Price "We Never Win Away ..." and my story is related on page 81 Chapter 9 Vienna Cup Final 1970.
As the great old song goes "Memories Are Made Of This". ;)

Great story !! Is Dons book still available ?

Not sure this counts as stealing, but after leaving the army, my first job was as a security keyholder for Woolworths. Coming up to Easter and they had a Guess the Weight of a huge, gigantic easter egg. Being the first in the store, I stuck it on the scales in the pic n mix and put my ex wife's details on the entry form.

She got it spot on funnily enough.
