Mine was probably just before Keegan came. We were abysmal then and it feels a right chore to go to the match.
Newcastle 3 Charlton 4 in 1992 3-0 up at half time, ended up losing with a last min O'brien OG, firmly adrift in the relegation zone, crashing towards the 3rd tier with a team of nervous youngsters who weren't up to it. Bye bye Ossie. Also the whole of the Graeme Souness era was a massive low, "the entertainers" being ripped apart and all the style and flare of the team being turned into bleak and drab dispair.
Though I was only a child then, I'll go for the dismal 1974 FA Cup final. In retrospect, that was the day when Liverpool and NUFC (until then similar-sized clubs) went in completely different directions. The years under Hall, Fletcher & Shepherd were such a missed opportunity. It was a fun rollercoaster ride for much of the time, but ultimately they built a castle on sand, had a lot of good luck, made a fortune from the club and....failed.
When I asked Bobby rodson for his autograph and he said " have you got a ****ing pen ""? I didn't have one sadly and his face will me with me forever as he said " look I'm sorry son but I haven't got time for this "
My mate caddied for Keegan during a game of golf. He said he was fond of the old leather wedge when in the woods and no-one was looking. A little part of me died that day when he told me..
Was at that Charlton game in the Gallowgate. People were chucking their season tickets on the pitch. My mackem mate had lost a bet we made him come the match. **** laughed all the way home. Who's laughing now Micky Mackem!!!
Your foot.. Thought you were a fellow golfer. Thought everyone knew bout the old leather wedge. The 15th club in the bag!!
Don’t lie. It was the sight of all those cocks. How’s Ramadan going fella? Am here in Turkey and the nights are cracking.
