All it did was create a bottle neck and fans knocking down the barriers. At this point the stewards and police tried to force them back.
Had my little boy with me and it was scary for a mo.
He loved it and for a six year-old, he's now seen three victory parades and four trophies!
Like any dad, I like to think you take all the blows, so your children don't have to.
He deserves every moment of his tender ignorance.
And I deserve every moment of my disbelief.

My kids loved it mate. Had to laugh about them making plans for next year's parade. They don't know their born these young 'uns ;).
Mine have never been to a game, they're just that bit too young I think: 6 year old twin boys and a 7 year old girl. But it was quite emotional seeing how involved they got in things last night. I had a bit of a tingle down the spine and thought "I never thought I'd see the day".
They'll remember that day when I'm long in the ground. "Maybe in another generation...."

Finaly the bus comes into view, and virtualy stops right in front of us. I`m just thinking how lucky my grandson is to see these stars every week.
When he turns to me and says " my Dad is on the bus " Yeh you wish I replied. No Grandad "MEH DAD IS ON THE BUS" And points to the livery on the side of the bus. Sure enough theres my lad stood on his seat at Wembley, arms out stretched singing his nuts off in full life sized thecnicolour.
Probably the nearest my Lad will ever get to parade two trophies around our City.
But it made three generations even more proud to be BLUE { if that was possible }
Never has the term #TOGETHER seemed more apt.
Brilliant story!
