I had to watch the game from a military hospital bed in Germany, where nobody was really interested.
I had already been stuck on an orthopaedic ward for 4 weeks. The day before the match, a Group Captain consultant surgeon did his ward rounds accompanied by other doctors. He asked me how I was feeling, and I said fine Sir, is it possible that I can get a day pass tomorrow to go to Maastricht because the Pope is visiting and I have always wanted to see him.
This Flight Lieutenant doctor piped up from the back of the group and said “F….off, you’re not going to the match” 😩
 
I was there with my arl fella. Terrible journey on a charra, but worth every minute. Thought it was gonna be forever. Sadly not. Still just as passionate about the blues though always have been, always will be. UTFT.
