I forgot about my Rev.Ian Paisley Posters at Anfield - well remembered Floyde_Street.!

I can also add my evening out in Derby on the Saturday night before relegation from the Premiership to the list. That was proper on that roof-top terrace somewhere in Derby City Centre..!!!

NOT a highlight was nearly getting run over by a train on the foot-crossing at Farnborough North Train Station for a pre-season friendly at Cherrywood Road - too many Fosters in the Molly Millars beforehand. My own fault :roll:

I verbally abused him in Maidenhead a couple of Saturdays ago. Don't remember a thing but apparently I was chanting Rufus is a dog's name at him while my mate was trying to talk to him.

Winchester Royal The birth of Random inflatables.

Perhaps a rebirth as I remember that being a late 80's thing.

My best memory was the goal Sane Long scored against Derby on the day we were crowned champions. That was as sublime a team goal as you'll ever see. I'll never forget running onto the pitch that day filled with a mixture of pure joy and immense pride. Only the birth of my kids has bettered it.
