I was born in the East End, but my family moved to N17 when I was two years old, and we lived there until I was thirteen. I went to Risley Avenue School and then to Tottenham Comprehensive (which used to be the Grammar School, and which was closed about twenty years ago). We lived about a mile from the ground.

The grief it caused me - normal outcome was being chucked !
