ive been a Boro supporter since the 52/3 season.
been a football fan from when i was 10-11yrs old
from the the days of the mid-50,s when you went on Monty Morton to the Cov games
LLoyds done the villa etc, always at a match WBA Leicester Villa Cov Brom even the Wolves
sang happy birthday to Stan Mathews at the villa on his 45th birtday, used to go leicester on the train from Abbey St
Chapel end coaches used to run to matches trying to place Wainfleet i think done Leicester.
tbh it all gets a bit foggy these days
ive seen the busby babes etc great footballing side spurs famous push and run side
all the Englands 1966 games, in truth a football nut.
fa cup Man C. V Leicester final hence ive seen every round of the fa cup.
sat on the top of a wooden tea hut to watch Cov V Sunderland FA cup
one of the last to get into Millmoor for the replay.
wherever whatever i always returned to my first football love despite all the shit years.
my good lady used to tell all she was a widow... a football widow ;-)

ps. my biggest sporting regret had nothing to do with football
i turned down the chance to see Henry Cooper fight Cassius Clay in that famous fight when clay beat the count
got up and pummeled Cooper

happy happy days
