I was playing cricket at Stainborough against Darfield on that day. We had a huge great radio on the boundary blasting out the commentary. We were fielding, the Darfield lads were batting. I remember celebrating each goal by going ballistic, and some of the Darfield lads invading the pitch, and we all had a group hugging session. The umpires were less than enthusiastic about this behaviour. What a day!
Happy St. Andrew's Day, old mate. I'm going to celebrate the occasion by lying on the settee all day!
Birthday of Winston Churchill, Gary Winston Lineaker, Dan Jarvis, Billy Idol and most importantly, my better half ! Do we get to wear skirts for a day ? Only kidding Ian
You could also have added Andy Gray to your list of those privileged enough to have their birthday on this special day.
I was at St Andrews, a mate at work (Blues season ticket holder) got me the ticket. With the home fans. Most unpleasant experience. I persuaded a steward to let me go in the away end at halftime.
Given that he is patron Saint of.... .....not only Scotland but Cyprus, Greece, Romania, Russia, Ukraine, Bulgaria, the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople!!!, San Andres island,Columbia and Saint Andrew Barbados,... he didn't 'arf get around a bit. Must have had his own private jet Anyway same to you. Have you got your Saltaire hoisted?
What a day that was, loved it. The scenes at the end of that game with the Pitch Invasion still lives in my memory.
Re: Given that he is patron Saint of.... Whereas we celebrate a Syrian immigrant. It's very progressive of us
Re: Given that he is patron Saint of.... I thought St George - if that is who you mean - was a Roman soldier of Greek origin
