    When we couldn’t afford a new ball, which we were supposed to have, every game. We couldn’t afford kit, soap, towels, stuff like that. There was a co-operative at the top of Belgrave Road & we couldn’t get kit from there, because we owed them 20 pound.

    And if the ball went over the stand you had to wait before it was fetched back to restart game

    I ain’t coming back. Except for the occasional dose of reality..
    I’m upset about my 16 year old terrier pissing on my chauffeur driven Bentley, on my way to watch Man City.
