It's amazing that I can remember stuff from games 45 years ago yet I can't remember what I had for tea last night

It's the way the brain works mate, you lose the cells from the front of your brain first, which is the short term memory. Hence older people can remember things from a long time ago, but not what they had for breakfast!

It was also very affordable the working mans game!

It was very affordable when I started going, my dad used to lift me over the turnstile and didn't have to pay for me!

Reidy and others coming back out of the tunnel at the end and sitting chanting with the supporters in the Witton Rd(?) Stand. We'll never see the likes of that again. Impossible to convey the full emotions of nights like that in those days. Magical.

We will mate, got to believe!!! Each era has something special about it and following the Blues in the 80s was boss. But when we do win something there will be random things that happen to make the celebrations memorable!! Footy is much more sanitised today but winning something will bring out something ace in all of us.

Where you could F and Blind without recrimination, call players for what they were. Good old days.
