Expensive seats eh!.......

the only seat then was sitting on the crush barriers - actually my mate's Dad was a milkman so we used to nick a crate to stand on in front of the wall, was the only way we could see over it - incredible to think today that you could walk into a ground with a crate and no-one batted an eye!

I always pretended to be Alan Ball when we were kicking a ball around as kids. The word "ginger" hadn't been invented. Bally was just a redhead.

I saw Alan Ball in work literally days before he died.. heard all my life about him, my dads total hero.. Im not old enough to have seen him play.. ' Nows your chance' I thought.. I approached Alan.. and I said the first thing that came into my head...
