I had tried everything to get a ticket for that 1995 final but had given up hope.
Just two days before the match I called for a pint after work and some bloke who I barely knew (a Kopite as it happens) said "here are these any good to you mate"...
Bought a ticket for the championship next year. Eye-wateringly expensive but something I wanted to tick off the list whilst it is still at the Crucible.
