Spent 3 months studying and living in western Siberia when it was still Soviet Union. Used to tune in to bbc world service which only used to broadcast second half commentary - and would prey all week that Everton were on. World service always used to cut off 5 mins from the end so there being no way to communicate with the west other than letters we had to wait for weeks to find out what the actual result was.

Went to Moscow for work, and watched Lille Everton with a load of Russians, who became blues as a result.
Don’t even remember the score, or the night... just remember it being absolutely brilliant!

I worked Tactical comms in RAF, quite fun setting up a satellite phone in the field to phone my Dad for the inevitable crushing match report.

What in the blue blazes were you studying in Western Siberia?
A Monastic college in Dublin. During a meditation session I was reprimanded for disrupting the calm.
Everton v Reykjavic in 1995. I had the wire of my headphone fed through my sleeve then into my right ear.
God Bless Graham Stuart.

Russian. We were the first ever Western students in the city. It was a miserable depressing place
Back in the day I used to have to tune in on shortwave to the BBC World service. It was very hit and miss but I could usually work out what was going on
sitting in the kitchen with my transistor radio during the night. I don't remember why I sat in the kitchen but it must've been where I got the best reception.
Anyway, it was very bad one time and I went out and found a half decent signal at the bottom of the back yard listening to the first leg of the Cup Winners Cup
semi-final v Bayern Munich. Not very exotic, but walking around the garden in Melbourne holding a transistor radio to your ear was different.
