i was there, remember the drive round the ground
wot made it a tad more poignant for me was
i had the opportunity to go to the Henry Cooper / Cassius Clay fight
when Cooper floored him but lost the fight. didn't go
a decision ive always regretted.
at least i went to all the England 66 world cup finals games
also remember going Stoke City
Stanley Mathews testimonial
some world class players on view that night.
memories eh. we've all got them

ps im pretty certain a CF called John Richie came on in that testimonial game second half
think he played against the BORO for Kettering town before going into what is now premier league football
bit of a goal getter in his day. dont know if anyone remembers him.
