I once entered the Engage competition to win tickets for 2 to the Perpignan game inc flights and hotel. Just like you Slim I forgot I had entered it til they phoned me and told me I had won.

I met John Barnes after winning a competition in the John Barnes fan club in 1991. He gave me some cool stuff which I ruined, as you do when you're a kid, a signed team photo, his training jacket stuff like that. He seemed to like it that I re-inacted his goal from the Maracana in '84 for him, complete with actual TV commentary.

I was a bit obsessive about him back then.

that explains that bloody accent, i thought you had something wrong with your vocal chords.

I once won passes for an exclusive Julian Lennon sort of press promo gig in that London tahhn. Being young and massively, massively obsessed with John Lennon at the time, I was over the moon and practically out of the door when my fascist dictator parentals reminded me I was to sit my mock GCSEs the day after and promptly withheld said passes. Cue an almighty teenage strop.

I missed my mock GCSEs anyway, as it was, kidney infection or something. I think we've all learnt something there.

Indeed.

Women.
