Had to swap tickets with a couple of Chelsea lads as we were in your end and they were in utd side seats. Anyhow we met up in the long bar when the stewards let us in ( met Kerry Dixon there too ) The two Chelsea lads had a fake FA cup and asked if I wanted to touch it for luck and I flippantly said ‘ nah mate we’re going to beat you 4-0. I wished I’d put some money where my mouth was that day. We met up with them after and shook hands etc and they asked how I knew what the score would be!
Moscow I couldn’t watch the penalties so went to that bar thing the Russians set up and saw the last penalties in there, the delay was about five minutes and we rushed back in just in time to see them lift the cup. Must admit I felt sorry for your lot that day as we’d all traveled so far and it was a poor final that nobody deserved to win!
I flew to Finland because we couldn’t get a direct flight from Gatwick, we jumped a train to st Petersburg where a Russian lorry driver took us to the outskirts of Moscow, went on the p most of the day, got friendly with a Russian bird( I’ll tell you that story at techenders one day) had a row with a mouthy Chelsea pr**k, got soaked by the rain and blagged a lift back on the official Chelsea executive coach complete with grub and booze

That would have been asking for death if I'd done that when Lucy was born. It was bad enough when I announced that I had to head off as I was meeting Toddy, Percy and Hiatt for a few beers to celebrate.
