A chap has reached an age where he starts to wonder if he'll ever see us win the league again. :-(Quote:

Lord no. Until I was 25 or so it never even occurred to me that we might win the league one day. That was something other teams did...Quote:

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure we won the league when you were 7. :rubchin:Quote:

Not at all. But I certainly identified as an Arsenal supporter at 7. Or a Palace supporter. I forget the chronology.Quote:

Terry Neill tried to sign him one Transfer Deadline day...but ended up with Peter Nicholas instead :-\
Were there deadline days back then? Did the window slam shut?Quote:

Yep
Always around mid March but, as with FA Cup draws heard on Radio 2, we didn't see any of it
I saw Dennis Bergkamp make a most exquisite pass to Ian Wright at Hillsborough; it made me glad to be alive.Quote:

Opening day of our 2nd Double season
:Cloud9:
Typically boiling hot...sweat dripping off Wrighty's head
Goodness knows how Wesley would have coped :-)

:nod: I quite liked the striped number they wore in the Wrighty Cup Final (first game) but yes, their Thunderbirds number was the tops :thumbup:
Was that one of those games where we went up norf and blew the opposition away inside 15 minutes? :cloud9:Quote:
