Where were you on Sunday 30th May 1999 (Gillingham play off game?)

Bentley's pub in Torquay. I was 14 having just won a semi final for my first men's team and all the lads took the piss as they walked out of the pub on about 80 minutes
 
HMYOI Thorn Cross listening on radio with about 10 other Manchester lads and about 4 screws who came in to listen to the final moments.
 
Great day.
Remember getting back to our grotty old digs in Hammersmith soaking wet after being in the Trafalgar Square fountain.
Sneaked a guy in who was probably in his 60's at the time and he kipped on the floor.
He was an ex Manc who then lived in either Holland or Belgium who come over for the game.
Never forgot his name Jonny Waters as I thought it a great name.
Never seen him since but read his name on here in the past, seems he was a bit of a City character in days gone by.
Great to be a Blue!

At Wembley. Openshaw SC coach back to the Stanley Street Working Men's Club just before last orders. I well remember the Club MC (who was a rag) announcing that he couldn't believe how much we all celebrated and said "What would they be like if they ever won the CL". Everyone laughed. Well, they're not fecking laughing now :-)
