Ah cool.
I was at college in St Albans for 5 years in the late 70’s/early 80’s, now that is definitely upmarket flats/houses.
Directly opposite the Mermaid pub which was a real dive back then! |

Anybody else used to go to the Chicago Pizza Pie Factory in Hannover Square in the 80’s?
It was dead trendy, big TV screens showing US sports and all the American beers!
It was our go to place on a Friday! |

What on earth does Vertical Possessors mean?
It’s getting ridiculous for an old bloke like me, inverted full backs, xG, more of an 8 than a 6, false 9, what does it all mean? 😱😱😱 |

Surely we should let the opposition worry about us not the other way round?
Pick the best available players I each position every game, simple I know but remember what Bill Shankly once said when asked about the team for the next game, “same as last season”! |

That’s pretty much how I move about now!
Seriously though, that looked a really good entertaining game of football. |

410, Wilf Bott, I’m pretty sure my dad’s was nicknamed after him as all his mates called him Wilf but his actual name was Alan!
Time would work as well! |

Had a rock climbing accident as a 17 year old, hit the ground from about door height in the sitting position causing a ripple effect up my discs a bit like those stress balls.
Not having this I said and threw myself back up the rock being successful this time.
Then drove back from Yorkshire to London and thought nothing more of it and didn’t until I hit my mid 30’s, playing football, the pain shot up my leg to my head and had to be carried off.
Saw everybody, physios etc but until I had a CAT Scan in my early 40’s they found my lower dice were damaged beyond repair and ultimately would need a major operation.
20 years later I’m “managing” the pain but it’s a constant nagging in my lower back and I make sort of grunting noises as I get in and out of chairs/bed etc!!
I go to the gym 3/4 times a week and love a day out in the hills when I can. |

I live in that part of the world, been down here over 30 years now, pop up to see my mum in Wembley once a month and every time realise how much I don’t miss living up there.
I’m nearly 65 and down to 3 days a week which is perfect for me.
When I finally give up I’m seriously looking into volunteering at Fort Nelson on Portsdown Hill which is an old Napoleonic Fort now a military museum. |

What on earth happened in 86 to leave such a bad impression on you?
Only bad things for me was being on the first flight after the Manchester plane fire in 85 on the same type of plane and recently coming into land in fog at Milan, took two goes. |

No problems.
Glad it was a draw, I work in Eastleigh and we’ve both sets of fans here so next all round as it can still be a bit tasty! |

And exactly how are we going to afford this mythical player?
If he is as good as you’re expecting him to be he’ll be playing for a far better team than ours! |

Scummers (Saints) as apparently their dock workers broke a strike and went to work at Pompey docks (not true) and Skates due to the navy link and the skate (fish) apparently resembling lady parts that the sailors apparently had a fancy for (again not true!). |

Like going back to the 80’s, coaches running from Fratton (and Winchester park and ride) the only way to get there as a Pompey fan!
Ronnie only on the bench, real shame we couldn’t finalise the deal as they obviously don’t rate him (management and fans!). [Post edited 14 Sep 12:37]
