The Final of the European Cup Winners in Vienna 1970,when we beat Gornick Z. Me and my mate hitch hiked all the way there and back and a superb adventure at only 19 years of age.All the better as we found out where the players were staying and we got to travel in the team bus to watch them training courtesy of Glyn Pardoe and my namesake Alan Oakes as we knew them.
Along with half a dozen others we managed to climb into the stadium at night (Monday & Tuesday) and sleep on the Pole Vault mattress`s,as the ground was also a sports stadium.Wonderful times.
