Probably already been answered, but I'm not going back through nearly 150 pages. That (presumably) ball boy who joined in the celebrations for the opening goal; is he one of the lads from one of the underage teams? Indeed, is that where the ball boys are selected from for each game?

Yep! Part of both the duties, but also seen to give them a "feel" for the ground and proximity to the senior team and occasion.

This was the 1st derby match I have missed watching in some form or other for 37 years. At 11am on Saturday morning at 11am my brother in law took ill and due to a 5 hour waiting list for an ambulance my wife took him into hospital. He was immediatly sent to the ICU unit and investigations began. At first they thought he had either a blocked bowel or that the bowel had even died. 11pm that night we got a phone call to say it was actually something called necrotizing faciilitis, a flesh eating disease. They had operated and were about to perform a 2nd operation to check they had got it all. 3.30am we got a call to get to the hospital asap as his lungs, kidneys & heart were failing. He did rally but eventually passed away 1.15pm. Cannot believe he was so fit & healthy Friday night, when he was out seeing a band, to being dead on Sunday.
Anyway that's my excuse for missing it
