Is he immortal like Captain Jack in Torchwood? Doesn't seem to age.
He used to ref me as a kid in the mid 80's..???? icon_lol.gif

I am not biased; I'm not bothered who beats St. Helens.:9356.jpg



Quote: Hoops "3d for the bus to Wigan
3d for a programme
3d for admission to the hen pen
3d back home on the bus

Great value for a shilling in total, which is 5 pence for those who don't know. And you got to watch, Billy B, Eric Ashton, Brian McTigue, Frank Collier, Punchy Griffiths, DAvid Bolton et al. (Am I giving my age away?)

It is still great now at the JJB/DW but it don't half cost a lot more.'"


Sometimes we got free tickets off Mr McDermott at St Pats. See there were even freebies in those days. icon_wink.gif

If syphilis was good enough for Al Capone, Scott Joplin and Toulouse-Lautrec, it is good enough for Dave Whelan.:11155.jpg



My first few games were spent in the Hen Pen aged 13 (I think) until I realised that the all the singing from Pop Stand didn't mean it was about to erupt into violence, so I spent almost all the rest of my Central Park "career" there instead.

Yeah, but were they paid for even though you were 'given' them? icon_wink.gif

[size=100:2md8k3b3][b:2md8k3b3]'Do you remember when we had that meeting in Orlando? We talked about how we were knocked out the previous year by Leeds. And at the end, I asked you one question. "Do you want to be a semi-final team? Or do you want to do something special?" You all said you wanted to win. But talking is easy – it needed you to believe. It needed you to work hard – harder than you had – and make sacrifices. You did all that. you worked for each other. You stuck together when it was tough. And because of your efforts, you sit here tonight as champions. I'm proud of you. Be proud of yourselves. You've done something special.'

My Dad used to do the same for me.

Don't remember when I actually started having to pay to get in.

Think I was about 18. icon_lol.gif
