Have we met? The first few lines almost perfectly describes my old match day routine.

What a fine achievement it has been to document the whole process from start to finish, in your inimitable way. Thanks and Well done Baz. However, I agree with some others that your work is not yet quite done. In fact, in some ways we enter one...

What a man.

We still need you mate, for the screed.

Thanks for everything Baz. Your time, your dedication, your honesty and lack of trying to flog yourself at every opportunity, and most importantly, your absolute love of what you were doing and why you were doing it. For us. You were there Day...
