Inspired by BlueBastardo's "Favourite Spirit", I was thinking of some of the various disasters I've had through the drink. I've now got out from under the bed and stopped singing loudly to myself, so ...
It was an away game at Wolves in the early '70s. Me and a mate had got on this coach to trravel there (in the early '70s, Stoke was somewhere near the Antipodes, and a place where people had 13 fingers and no ears, so we didn't want to run the risk of a train). Somewhere near Shrewsbury, the driver said we could get out for a quick drink. Five double vodkas later, we were being shouted at for the coach. But Percy needed to be pointed at the porcelain first. No problem until my mate got his knob caught in the zipper.
There were profane words. There was panic (coach revving engine). There may have been blood (didn't want to look too closely). There was a choice to be made. Stay with injured good mate in his hour of need, or get to the game.
We won. I was there. I'm still deeply ashamed.
