London 28 Bradford 24
Emotional day at The Stoop, over 9000 there, Diana died in the morning (rumours game could be called off), Bradford top of the league and London in second place, Richard Branson on board (together with Offiah and Edwards on the pitch)and everything looking very positive.....'"
Bradford's first defeat of the season that too.
Travelled down on the coach with my dad, no idea if the game was going to be on or not until we got there. Had to get up at stupid o'clock in the morning to get up to Odsal to get on the coach and saw the news not long after it was first announced. Walked into the bar at the stadium when arrived (or was it a pub? I forget, but it was full of fans) and there were a load of people watching the news there in silence. The first words out of my dad's mouth were "She's still ing dead then?"
Never been prouder of him.
